NASB | John 11:44 The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go." |
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: I was once told that if you are invited into a Jewish home for a meal and upon completion of the meal; if you enjoyed the meal you would fold your napkin and lay it to the side. The folded napkin states you enjoyed the meal and you are inviting yourself back. Therefore in John 20:7 the fold napkin means that Jesus will be back. |
Bible Answer: Interesting. However, a napkin is just a piece of cloth. The connection between what you wipe your mouth with and what is used to cover a corpses face is tenuous at best. Luke 19:20 uses the same word, but here it is used as a money bag. The Greek is "soudarion" which could be translated "handkerchief." On the other hand, your suggestion is a nice sentiment. :-) I guess I'll just avoid being dogmatic on either side of the question. :-) |
