SCRIPTURE

"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." — Luke 24:12 (ASV)

This entire verse is a Western non-interpolation. This incident is given in complete form in Joh 18:2-10 and most of the words in this verse are there also. It is of a piece with many items in this chapter about which it is not easy to reach a final conclusion.

Stooping and looking in (παρακυψας). First aorist active participle of παρακυπτω, to stoop besides and peer into. Old verb used also in Joh 20:5,11; James 1:25; 1 Peter 1:12.

By themselves (μονα). Without the body.

To his home (προς αυτον). Literally, "to himself."
