Bible Question: What was the significance of Jesus folding His Kerchief or facecloth? I have heard that it because it was according to Hebrew custom when eating a meal. When the Master of the meal was finished he tossed his napkin on the table to indicate that he was finished so the servants could eat. If he planned to return, he folded his napkin. Does anyone have any other suggestions or can they validate this explanation? |
Bible Answer: Dear Pattycake, Since the scripture does not provide an explanation we can just say what it says and that is that it was rolled up in a place by itself. Sincerely, Val |
