They could tell that the cloths had not been unwound-Jesus had slipped out of them. Plus, the head shroud had been folded and laid up on a shelf, I think.

Luk 24:12 But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

Joh 20:6 Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

Joh 20:7 and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

Joh 20:8 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

There could be many answers to how the grave cloths were lying there...strewn around if ripped off by robbers, or better yet gone with the body...torn off the body which would probably be the answer if someone found themselves wrapped in such things...but these were neatly folded as if taken off with calm cool confidence.

[quilter]

THEY SAW THE EMPTY TOMB AND KNEW HE HAD AROSE AS HE SAID HE WOULD. HOW AWESOME THIS MUST HAVE BEEN FOR PETER.

THE GRAVE CLOTHES WERE LAID AS IF JESUS HAD PASSED RIGHT THROUGH THEM. THE HEAD PIECE WAS STILL ROLLED UP IN THE SHAPE OF A HEAD AND RIGHT A BOUGHT THE DISTANCE FROM THE GRAVE CLOTHES.

[Standing On the Rock]

(Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

The grave clothes were neatly folded in the tomb as though Jesus simply emerged through them. There was no disturbance to them. They were somehow preserved in the same fashion as when they were wrapped around the body of Jesus.

Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

In Luke 24:12 and John 20:6-8 the position of the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith. If the body of Jesus was stolen by grave robbers they would have taken the grave clothes with him.

What was peculiar about the grave clothes was that they were still intact and this suggested the fact that his body was not stolen but rather Jesus slipped through them when he was risen from the dead.

[Jubilee]

Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

The grave clothes were not touched. They were still in position as if nothing had happened. The head clothes too were in the same position. This peculiar happening has strengthened the faith of Peter and John.

Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

Luk 24:12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb to see. He looked in, but he saw only the cloth that Jesus' body had been wrapped in. It was just lying there. Peter went away to be alone, wondering what had happened.

Joh 20:6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,

Joh 20:7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

Joh 20:8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

Here laid the burial cloths that wrapped their beloved Jesus. They were not laying as if ripped from his body but as if he floated out of them and apart neatly was the cloths that would have covered the face of Jesus. This was not something that they expected. I think we also must remember that Jesus did not appear as a "ghost" wearing the clothes of the dead but came to them dressed. He has no further use of clothes for the dead as he had defeated death.

The grave clothes was completely folded When Jesus came back from the dead, Peter and John didn't know what happen to the body. Peter and John was peculiar about some grave robbers stole the body, but they feel suspicious about what was happened.

Well First off all, The clothes were not torn nor wrinkled. The Bible says that the cloths laying neatly in a pile that is folded. So the peculiar thing about them is that they were indeed folded in the corner, BUT they were not torn or wrinkled.

Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

They were still intact. "If Jesus' body had been stolen, grave robbers wouldn't have taken the time to unwind the shroud. In fact, the shroud would have helped them carry the body more easily. If Jesus had been in a coma and revived, somehow he would have had to unwind the grave shroud in order to walk free". Jesus' body passed through them.

The strips of linen was seen lying in the tomb and the burial cloth that had been on Jesus" head was folded separately by itself from the linen. The grave cloth didn't need to be unwrapped before Jesus came out of it but that Jesus must have slipped through them. God is wonderful in doing His things!

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

The peculiarity of this situation is that Jesus seemed to have just floated out of His clothes; folded them neatly and placed them on a shelf while the body cover remained on the tomb.

Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them?

Ans. We are people who believe in what the physical eye can see. That is why the bible explains that faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen. Peter and John did not believe when told by the women but after seeing for themselves they believe even to the point that Peter felt what he had seen was peculiar. The garments themselves were exact as they were on Christ the day of His death.

The grave clothes which Jesus was wrapped in were just lying there by themselves. They were folded very neatly where Jesus laid.

[tgandy]

Peter and John after looking at Jesus' grave clothes went away believing.  The strips of linen were lying there as well as the burial cloth folded up by itself.  If someone had stolen the body, they would have taken the grave clothes.  If someone had wanted to simply "see"  they would have unfolded the cloths.   I believe the burial cloth that was around Jesus' head was positioned most unusually.  Jesus took the time to fold the napkin before leaving the tomb.  Folding the face cloth was a sign that He was not done.  Jesus, by his resurrection had only begun!  His Church would be built by his followers.

[JoanG]

I feel that the fact that the clothes were laying there undisturbed would cause one to believe that the body passed through the clothes. When Jesus has Lazarus raise from the dead, the clothes had to be unwrapped from his body. But here they were just lying there. This would have caused me to believe that a miracle had happened. And knowing the Jesus said He was going to be raised from the dead on the 3rd day, I would have believed that is exactly what happened had I been there.

[Annelle]

The fact that they were there firstly and then that they were folded. I think care was taken and a message sent.

[Old Jerry]

I think that the thing that brought Peter and John to faith was that the grave clothes were neatly folded and was lying there.
