John Calvin Commentary John 20:5

"and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in." — John 20:5 (ASV)

And seeth the linen clothes lying. The linen clothes might be regarded as the spoils, intended to lead to the belief of Christ’s resurrection; for it was not probable that his body had been stripped naked, in order that it might be removed to another place. This would not have been done by a friend, nor even by an enemy.
