Jean 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.

Jean 20:6 In-Context

4 Et ils couraient tous deux ensemble; mais cet autre disciple courut plus vite que Pierre, et arriva le premier au sépulcre.

5 Et s'étant baissé, il vit les bandelettes qui étaient à terre; mais il n'entra point.

6 Mais Simon Pierre, qui le suivait, étant arrivé, entra dans le sépulcre, et vit les bandelettes qui étaient à terre,

7 Et le suaire qu'on lui avait mis sur la tête, lequel n'était pas avec les autres linges; mais plié dans un endroit à part.

8 L'autre disciple, qui était arrivé le premier au sépulcre, entra aussi, et il vit, et il crut.
