Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 20:7

"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)

As one has well said, there were the grave-clothes left as the furniture for the believer's last bed, and there was the napkin, in a place by itself, to wipe away the tears of mourners. The chief lesson is that this act had been done at leisure by someone who was in no hurry whatever. He had put together the linen clothes, and wrapped up the napkin, and laid it in a place by itself.
