why did jesus fold the napkin?

An unusual approach to a biblical story. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this…. The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, ‘They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and I don’t know where they have put him? Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn’t go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lyin

This was to signify to his disciples that he would return… These disciples, less than a weekend ago, ran away and hid for their lives…They were afraid and did not understand what was happening…But the event you mention was POWERFUL enough to lead into FAITH…notice the NEXT verses: Joh 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. Joh 20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. WHATEVER they saw in that grave, the Bible says that “they saw, and believed….NOT knowing the scripture” I’m SO happy that this scripture speaks to another Christian in such an exciting way…I have a Jewish friend who tells me that it would be CUSTOMARY for the Master (of any house), during the Passover feast, if he had to leave the table for business, yet he was NOT FINISHED, and DID NOT wish for the servants to “clean up” his place, he would signify by HIS FOLDED NAPKIN that he WOULD return…I would th
