Contextual Overview

1 And the first of the sabbaths, while still very early, they came on the tomb, carrying spices which they prepared; and some were with them. 2 And they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb. 3 And going in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were perplexed about this, even behold, two men in shining clothing stood by them. 5 And they becoming terrified, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living with the dead? 6 He is not here, but was raised. Remember how He spoke to you, yet being in Galilee, 7 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again. 8 And they remembered His Words. 9 And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest. 10 And they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then arose Peter,.... Who, though he did not believe the report made, yet listened to it, and was alarmed and aroused by it, and was willing to know the truth of it:

and ran unto the sepulchre; not alone, but with John, being in haste to be satisfied, how things were:

and stooping down;

:-.

:-.

he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves; in which the body of Jesus was wrapped; these lay by themselves, without the body, in one place; and the napkin about his head was wrapped together, and lay in another place by itself: so that it was a plain case, the body was not stolen, nor taken away; for neither friends, nor foes, would have taken the pains, or have lost so much time, as to have stripped the body, but would rather have carried off the clothes along with it. The Alexandrian copy leaves out the word μονα, alone, or by themselves:

and departed; from the sepulchre to Jerusalem, to John's house there:

wondering in himself at that which was come to pass; that the body should not be there, and yet the clothes should remain; he could not tell what to make of it. As for a resurrection, he had no notion of that, and yet could not account for the removal of the body, either by friends or foes, and the clothes left behind.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 28:1-11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 24:12. Then arose Peter — John went with him, and got to the tomb before him. See John 20:2-3.

The linen clothes laid by themselves — Or, The linen clothes only. This was the fine linen which Joseph of Arimathea bought, and wrapped the body in: Mark 15:46. Small as this circumstance may at first view appear, it is, nevertheless, no mean proof of the resurrection of our Lord. Had the body been stolen away, all that was wrapped about it would have been taken away with it; as the delay which must have been occasioned by stripping it might have led to the detection of the theft; nor would the disciples have run such a risk if they had stolen him, when stripping the body could have answered no end. This circumstance is related still more particularly by John, John 20:5-7. Peter seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen clothes, but WRAPPED together in a place by itself. All these circumstances prove that the thing was done leisurely; order and regularity being observed through the whole. Hurry and confusion necessarily mark every act of robbery.
