<p>24:12 <i>But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering about what had happened</i>- Peter and John went to the tomb after having first of all disbelieved Mary Magdalene (Lk. 24:11). &quot;Myrrh... glues linen to the body not less firmly than lead&quot; (Leon Morris, <i>John</i> p. 736). The fact the cloths were neatly placed as they were was therefore a powerful evidence that the Lord had risen, and not been extricated from the cloths by any human effort.</p><p>The various records all use the same word for how Peter, John and Mary all 'stooped down' (Jn. 20:5,11) at this time; as if bowing before the resurrected Lord.</p>
