JOHN—NOTE ON John 20:6 The linen cloths lying there are clear evidence that Jesus’ body had not been taken by grave robbers or by his disciples (see Matthew 27:62; Matthew 28:11), or by his enemies, who would not have taken the time to remove these cloths (see John 19:40). The NT elsewhere affirms the real physical nature of Jesus’ resurrection body (see Matthew 28:9; Luke 24:30, Luke 24:39, Luke 24:42; John 20:17, John 20:20, John 20:27; Acts 10:41). Most likely Jesus unwrapped these cloths from his body when he awakened from death and left them behind.
