SCRIPTURE

"and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself." — John 20:7 (ASV)

The napkin (το σουδαριον). Already in 11:44 which see. This napkin for the head was in a separate place.

Rolled up (εντετυλιγμενον). Perfect passive participle, predicate accusative like κειμενον, from εντυλισσω, late verb, to wrap in, to roll up, already in Mt 27:59; Luke 23:53. It was arranged in an orderly fashion. There was no haste.

By itself (χωρις). Old adverb, "apart," "separately."
