Thematic Bible: Grave-clothes


Thematic Bible



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.”

So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
