"to roll away" (apo, "from," kulio, "to roll;" cp. Eng., "cylinder," etc.), is used of the sepulchre stone, Matthew 28:2; Mark 16:3 (ver. 4 in some mss.; see No. 2); Luke 24:2 . In the Sept., Genesis 29:3,8,10 .

"to roll up or back" (ana), is found in the best texts, in Mark 16:4 (see No. 1).

"to roll up or to" (pros), is used in Matthew 27:60; Mark 15:46 , of the sepulchre stone.

"to roll," or "roll up," is used (a) of the "rolling" up of a mantle, illustratively of the heavens, Hebrews 1:12 , RV; (b) of the "rolling" up of a scroll, Revelation 6:14 , illustratively of the removing of the heaven.

"to wrap up, roll round or about," is translated "rolled up" in John 20:7 , RV, of the cloth or "napkin" that had been wrapped around the head of the Lord before burial. Both the RV and the AV, "wrapped together," might suggest that this cloth had been "rolled" or wrapped up and put in a certain part of the tomb at the Lord's resurrection, whereas, as with the body wrappings, the head cloth was lying as it had been "rolled" round His head, an evidence, to those who looked into the tomb, of the fact of His resurrection without any disturbance of the wrappings either by friend or foe or when the change took place. It is followed by en, "in," and translated "wrapped" in Matthew 27:59 , a meaning and construction which Moulton and Milligan illustrate from the papyri; in Luke 23:53 it is followed by the dative of the noun sindon, "linen cloth," used instrumentally. See WRAP.

lit., "a little head" (a diminutive of kephale, "a head;" Lat., capitulum, a diminutive of caput), hence, "a capital of a column," then, "a roll" (of a book), occurs in Hebrews 10:7 , RV, "in the roll" (AV, "in the volume"), lit., "in the heading of the scroll" (from Psalm 40:7 ).
