A more obscure topic of the empty tomb was that of the burial cloths. In the gospels of Luke and John, they record that the burial wrappings of Jesus were left inside the tomb with the head wrapping folded and placed separately from the other linens ([John 20:5-7](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.20.5-7), [Luke 24:12](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/LUK.24.12), [[Latham2009-ky]]). The body wrappings and the headpiece were found lying in place undisturbed and hollow as if the body that once inhabited them vanished. Carefully removing, then wrapping, and folding the linens would be difficult to achieve without damaging the wrappings ([[Cook_undated-dn]], [[Schaff2007-pp]]). Additionally, it appears that the 70-pound spices were still tucked inside the folds of the grave clothes and not scattered about the tomb. It is not likely that anyone that wanted the corpse of Jesus would take such care to unwrap the body and then neatly fold it back together ([[Harris1990-jy]]). Scholars and Christians have noted that the text indicates a supernatural removal of the body from the wrappings ([[Barclay2001-yu]]), [[Tract_Committee_Ernest_Hermitage_Day_Society_for_Promoting_Christian_Knowledge2019-br]]), [[Giunta2015-px]], [[Stott2012-py]], [[Pink1968-mu]], [[Latham2009-ky]]). The unique detail of the burial cloths in the tomb of Jesus, as described in the Gospels of Luke and John, describe the linens left behind as undisturbed and arranged in a manner that suggests a meticulous and deliberate act that a typical grave robbery would not answer. The headpiece, set apart from the body wrappings, and the untouched spices suggest an orderly scene, contrasting with the expected chaos of a tomb violation. This careful arrangement has led scholars and believers to ponder the possibility of a supernatural event, as the state of the tomb and its contents seem to defy natural explanations. The detail of the folded linens, in particular, has been interpreted as a sign of Jesus' resurrection, implying that his body was not stolen but was raised, leaving behind the grave clothes as silent witnesses to the miraculous event.
