AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 11:44 Out came the man who had been dead, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, "Unwrap him and release him." |
Bible Question: What does the folded napkin in John 20:7 symbolizes in the Jewish tradition? |
Bible Answer: John Gill writes, "the use of which was not only to tie up the chin and jaws, but to hide the grim and ghastly looks of a dead corpse; and one of the same price and value was used by rich and poor: for it is said Maimon. Hilchot Ebel, c. 4. sect. 1." We cannot say if there is other spiritual significance, nor, by any athority, are we to create such significance when it is not already offered. Who was it that said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." On the other hand, others might know more about this custom than do I. |
