John 20:6 & 7
"Simon Peter arrived after him, entered the tomb, observed the linen cloths lying there, and the kerchief used to cover his head not lying with the linen cloths but separate, neatly folded by itself."
Why neatly folded?
When dining as a guest in a Hebrew home, it was the customary tradition at the completion of the meal for the guest to either crumble up his napkin indicating the meal was good and he would gladly return again for another meal or to neatly fold his napkin showing displeasure with the meal and the decision he would never come that way again.
Could it be that when Jesus folded his head covering He was saying, I will never pass this way again!
