Thematic Bible: Grave-clothes


Thematic Bible



The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, "Unwrap him and let him go."

Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.

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

and the face cloth, which had been around Jesus' head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself.

So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
