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 Correvano ambedue assieme; ma l’altro discepolo corse innanzi più presto di Pietro, e giunse primo al sepolcro;

5 e chinatosi, vide i pannilini giacenti, ma non entrò.

6 Giunse intanto anche Simon Pietro che lo seguiva, ed entrò nel sepolcro, e vide i pannilini giacenti,

7 e il sudario ch’era stato sul capo di Gesù, non giacente coi pannilini, ma rivoltato in un luogo a parte.

8 Allora entrò anche l’altro discepolo che era giunto primo al sepolcro, e vide, e credette.
