Giovanni 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:6

Then cometh Simon Peter following him
In a very little time after him:

and went into the sepulchre;
itself, though not without first stooping down, as John did; see ( Luke 24:12 ) .

And seeth the linen clothes lie;
as John did; and as by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything is confirmed, so was this; both saw the linen in which the body was wrapped, but that was gone; and which was a sign that the body was not stolen away, otherwise the linen would not have been left; and besides, it would have taken up some time, and given a good deal of trouble, to have unwrapped the body, when it is considered how many foldings the Jews used to wind up their corpse in.

Giovanni 20:6 In-Context

4 Or correvano amendue insieme; ma quell’altro discepolo corse innanzi più prestamente che Pietro, e venne il primo al monumento.
5 E chinatosi vide le lenzuola che giacevano nel monumento; ma non vi entrò.
6 E Simon Pietro, che lo seguitava, venne, ed entrò nel monumento, e vide le lenzuola che giacevano,
7 e lo sciugatoio ch’era sopra il capo di Gesù, il qual non giaceva con le lenzuola, ma era involto da parte in un luogo.
8 Allora adunque l’altro discepolo ch’era venuto il primo al monumento, vi entrò anch’egli, e vide, e credette.
