Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 20:6 In-Context

4 And were running, the two together and the other talmid ran ahead faster than Kefa, and came first to the kever,
5 And having stooped down, the other talmid [talmid ha’ahuv] sees the tachrichin linen clothes lying there. However, he did not enter the kever.
6 Then comes also Shimon Kefa following him and Shimon Kefa entered into the kever (tomb), and sees the tachrichin linen clothes lying there.
7 And also the mitznefet (head wrapping), which had been upon the rosh of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the mitznefet not lying with the tachrichin, but apart, having been folded up in one place.
8 Then, therefore, entered also the other talmid, the one having come first to the kever (tomb), and he saw and had emunah (faith).
