Dear Explorer,
Read Luke 24:9-12
And
Read John 20:1-10
The women, or some of the women, ran to tell the disciples what they had seen and heard.
What was the response of the men?
Who decided to check it out?
Peter and John (the disciple that Jesus loved and the author of this account).
According to John, who got there first?
What did they find in the tomb?
The linen cloths that were used to cover the body and separate from those, the face cloth – a single cloth used to cover the head and face.
It's just a little detail, but it was significant enough for John to mention it in John 20:7.
If you were going to unwrap a body - you would probably leave all the wrappings together in one pile. I believe that Jesus laid the face cloth to one side while he worked on unwinding the other.
Others believe that when Jesus' SELF returned to His earthly body – the cloths just fell off miraculously. But there remains the question, “Why weren't they all in one heap on the floor?”
Heaven is going to be such fun as we learn all these details and have all our questions answered!
In His service, dale
Next study
