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.
