WHY THE NAPKIN FOLDING?

John (20:6-7) Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.

Why did Jesus fold the napkin at the tomb? No one knows for sure. The Lord could have done it to show that His body had not been stolen, as some officials would later claim. Thieves would not take the time to fold His burial cloth." (This is my humble Rusty view)

Regardless of the reason, it meant something or John wouldn't have noted it. One thing is for sure, it proved Jesus rose again.
