Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin

What is the significance of the folded napkin in Christ’s tomb after the resurrection?

QuestionAnswer Interestingly, the narrative of Jesus’ resurrection in John 20:7 includes the following detail: “And the napkin, which was over his head, not laying with the linen cloths, but wound together in a place by itself” (KJV). This passage is handled in a variety of ways by several respectable Bible translations. The term napkin is used by three of them to interpret the text (KJV, AS, RSV). The phrase is also translated as “burial cloth” (NIV), “handkerchief” (NKJV), or “face-cloth” by other translations (NASB).

Alternatively, it can refer to a towel used to wipe sweat from one’s face.

Folded is another important term to remember.

Interestingly, two of the translations make use of the term folded (NIV, NKJV).

• The Greek term isentulisso is derived from words that may mean “to twist” or “to entwine,” depending on the context.
• In its most basic interpretation, John 20:7 indicates that the garment that was laid over Jesus’ head or face at His burial was distinct from the remainder of His burial cloths.
• It is said that folding the napkin at the table is a Jewish tradition that signifies that the individual who folds the napkin intends to return to his or her seat.
• It appears that the only references to this topic can be found in online postings and emails that appear to have been sent out in 2007.
• Table napkins, such as those that we use now, were not in use during Jesus’ lifetime, according to historical evidence.
• According to rabbinic injunction, washing one’s hands before eating was necessary, but did people dry their hands with a cloth after they had washed them?
• Although the folding of a napkin as an indication that a dinner guest has finished his or her meal may be a common European habit, it appears that this custom was not practiced in the country of Israel during the time of Christ.

A Bountiful Love: Why did Jesus Fold the Napkin ?

This was shared with me by my kind mother-in-law, so please take this with a grain of salt. I am not aware of the actual source or the author of this article. In addition to my mother in law, I shared this with her. I had been receiving a lot of hate mail challenging the authenticity of the context in which I was writing about Jewish customs. I am neither a Jew, nor am I an expert in this field. I wanted to share the story below in order to SPREAD HOPE. The purpose of this post is to uplift people’s spirits.

1. There is absolutely no need for hurtful remarks.
2. It’s too wonderful not to share with everyone.
3. Every time I read it, I smile and express my gratitude to Him.
4. As long as you stick with me, I guarantee that you will be motivated as well.
5. This was something I was completely unaware of.
6. The Bible devotes a full word to inform us that the napkin was properly folded and laid aside from the grave garments.
7. Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, and discovered that the stone had been pushed away from the entrance, indicating that Jesus had died.

She said, ‘They have taken the Lord’s corpse out of the tomb, and I have no idea where they have taken Him!’ she added.

The other disciple beat Peter to the punch and arrived first.

Afterwards, Simon Peter arrived and entered the building.

Was it really so significant?

In order to comprehend the importance of the folded napkin, it is necessary to be familiar with the Hebrew tradition of the day in question.

When the servant prepared the dinner table for the master, he made certain that everything was precisely how the master desired it to be placed.

If the master was through eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his lips, and clean his beard, and then wad up that napkin and toss it upon the table, as seen in the illustration.

Because, back in the day, a “wadded napkin” indicated, “I’m finished!”.

Isn’t it really lovely to see? Don’t forget to pin it and share it with others!

Happy Easter! Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin?

This was shared with me by my kind mother-in-law, so please take this as a disclaimer. No, I don’t know who wrote it or where it came from. Additionally, my mother-in-law was informed. In regards to the authenticity of the situation in relation to Jewish traditions, I had been receiving some negative responses on social media recently. Not being a Jew or an expert on the subject, I will refrain from commenting. To SPREAD HOPE, I shared the story below. I wrote this message with the intention of uplifting others in their struggles and difficulties.

1. The use of harsh remarks is completely unnecessary.

3. When I read it, I can’t help but grin and express gratitude to the author.
4. As long as you stick with me, I guarantee that you will be motivated as well.” In the aftermath of His resurrection, why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth?
5. Following the death of Jesus, the napkin that was placed over his face in the Gospel of John 20:7 tells us that it was not thrown away with the grave garments.
6. When Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb early on Sunday morning, it was still dark, and she discovered that the stone had been pushed away from the entrance.
7. ‘They have stolen the Lord’s corpse out of the tomb, and I have no idea where they have taken Him!’ she exclaimed.

The other disciple beat Peter to the punch and arrived before the rest of the disciples.

Then Simon Peter came and walked into the house with his mother and brother.

So, how significant was it?

Understand a little bit about Jewish ritual from that time period in order to appreciate the significance of a folded napkin on the table.

He took great care to ensure that everything on the dinner table was just how the master wanted it when he served the meal.

If the master was through eating, he would get up from the table, wipe his fingers, his lips, and clean his beard, and then wad up that napkin and put it upon the table as a last gesture.

Since the “wadded napkin” signified, “I’m finished!” back in the day, When the master gets up from the table and folds his napkin and places it next to his plate, the servant will not dare to touch the table because of this.

I’m coming back!’ says the napkin folded in half. When Jesus returns, the world will be transformed. Isn’t it just lovely? Keep in mind to pin and share your favorite recipes.

Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin?

I received the following intriguing email today:

Why Did Jesus Fold The Linen Burial Cloth After His Resurrection?

According to the Gospel of John (20:7), the napkin that was put over the face of Jesus was not simply thrown away like the burial cloths, but was instead burned. The Bible devotes a full word to inform us that the napkin had been folded nicely and was put at the top of the rocky casket in which Jesus lay. 1. When Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb early on Sunday morning, when it was still dark, she discovered that the stone had been moved away from the entrance to the tomb. 2. As she raced, she came across Simon Peter and the other disciple, who happened to be the one whom Jesus favored.

1. 3.
2. 4.
3. Despite the fact that he stooped and glanced in, he did not enter because the linen cloth was still there.
4. After that, Simon Peter arrived and entered into the house.
5. Is it really that important?
6. Is it a significant factor in the case?
7. In order to comprehend the importance of the folded napkin, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of Jewish custom from that time period.

When the servant prepared the dinner table for the master, he made certain that everything was precisely how the master desired it to be placed.

Whenever the master was through eating, he would get up and wipe his fingers and lips with a napkin, then wading up the napkin and tossing it upon the table to dry his hands.

Because, back in the day, a wadded napkin signaled, “I’m through.” When the master gets up from the table and folds his napkin and places it near his plate, the servant will not dare to touch the table because.

Christ’s Linen Napkin (John 20:7): Is it significant that the napkin that had been around Jesus’ head when he was buried was found in the empty tomb folded?

Is there anything you can tell me about the following Hebrew tradition?” The napkin that was put over the face of Jesus, according to John 20:7, was not simply thrown away like the burial garments, as we might expect.

Question from a JP reader:

Which of the following traditions in Hebrew do you know anything about? The napkin that was put over the face of Jesus, according to John 20:7, was not simply thrown away like the burial garments, as we might expect. The Bible devotes a full word to inform us that the napkin had been folded nicely and was put at the top of the rocky casket in which Jesus lay. Is this a significant point? Absolutely! In order to comprehend the importance of the folded napkin, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of Jewish custom from that time period.

When the servant prepared the dinner table for the master, he made certain that everything was precisely how the master desired it to be placed.

As soon as the master was through eating, he would rise from the table, wash his fingers, clean his lips, and shave his beard before folding up his napkin and tossing it upon the dining table.

Because, back in the day, a wadded napkin signaled, “I’m through.” When the master gets up from the table and folds his napkin and places it near his plate, the servant will not dare to touch the table because the servant will understand that the folded napkin signifies, “I’m not finished yet,” and therefore will not touch the table.

He (the Lord, Jesus) is on his way back to earth!

David Bivin responds:

As if they were urban legends, such fantastical thoughts spread quickly over the Internet, with one author copying the words of another, but tweaking the text slightly and occasionally adding to it, and another author copying the words of another. (“Napkin over the face of Jesus,” for example, may be found by doing a Google search.” Apparently, none of the perpetrators of this scam has provided any proof to support their claims thus far. There is no biblical or rabbinic source cited in any of them.

Sudarium, the term that is rendered as “facial cloth” or “napkin” in some versions of John 20:7, is a Latin loanword (see the item v in A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature for more information.) It was a little fabric that corresponded to the rabbinic (mipaat), which is our modern equivalent of a “handkerchief.” Asoudarion appears three more times in the New Testament: when Jesus called Lazarus out of his tomb, he did so with his face wrapped in asoudarion(John 11:44); the slave who was entrusted with amnahid it wrapped in asoudarion(Luke 19:20); and the handkerchiefs that were carried from Paul’s body, which contained the power to heal the sick and expel demons, weresoudaria (the plural of (Acts 19:12).

Immediately upon hearing the description of “the folded napkin and the slave,” the following questions pop into my head:

1. Is it true that people in first-century Israel utilized napkins, meaning that after a meal they would wipe their hands on a cloth to clean them? According to rabbinic injunction, washing one’s hands before eating was necessary, but did people dry their hands with a cloth after they had washed them? After washing the hands, it appears that there is no early rabbinic source that details how the hands were dried after being washed. It appears that this ritual was unknown in the country of Israel during the time of Jesus, despite the fact that the folding of the napkin as a symbol of a dinner guest’s completion is a common European practice today

Following the washing of his hands, I believe that Jesus did not dry them on his sleeve or another portion of his clothing, as is customary. Due to the fact that he ate with his fingers as a spoon and fork, it is likely that he did not want to dry his hands on anything. The ancient Greeks may have eaten with their hands as well, as there are no ancient Greek terms for “fork” or for “spoon,” indicating that they did so.

Summary

If first-century Jewish residents of the land of Israel used table napkins, and if there was a custom similar to that described, and if the handkerchief mentioned in John 20:7 was a table napkin, and if the Greek wordentetyligmenonmeant “having been folded” rather than “having been wrapped up,” then we might be able to swallow this. I would imagine that the elaborate description of this alleged habit was concocted by someone’s active imagination in response to the antiquated KJV translation of the word “napkin” in the Bible.

Why Did Jesus Really Fold the Napkin?

Even if this is your first day on the internet, chances are you’ve already received the email outlining why Jesus folded a napkin in the tomb during His resurrection at least a dozen times before. It has been circulating for a number of years. It seems to hit me around once a week, if not more. An early ritual involving a master, his servant, and the supper table is purported to have existed, according to an email received. The lord of the house is said to not fold his napkin once he has completed his dinner, but rather wads it up after he has done his meal.

• In contrast, if he is leaving the table before he has finished his meal, he folds the napkin as a gesture of goodwill to his servant, indicating that he will return.
• Since I was a teenager, I’ve been reading the Bible – and Bible-related material – on a regular basis.
• It is true that I do not profess to be some sort of encyclopedia of Biblical knowledge; but, I do find it a bit remarkable that something so significant could have gone unnoticed for such a long period of time.
• However, rather than discussing my “feelings” on the matter, I’d want to give some thinking that I believe may be of use.
• For starters, there’s the phrase “napkin.” When Peter and John search the tomb, they discover that the “napkin” has been rolled up.
• All other translations make use of terms such as “face-cloth” or “burial-cloth” or anything along those lines.
• According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word used in John 20:7, which is rendered “napkin” in the KJV (according to Strong’s Concordance), is a towel or fabric that is used to wipe away facial perspiration or to be used as a burial cloth in some cultures.

The reason why Jesus would fold a funeral towel in the hopes that His disciples would come to the conclusion that it is similar to folding a dinner napkin would be puzzling.

There would be no logical reason to associate these two completely distinct products with one another in the first place, either.

That brings back memories of eating lunch!

The email would have us think that individuals in Jesus’ day used funeral cloths to clean their lips as well as their hands.

If you don’t mind passing me the burial cloth, Mommy, I just spilled soup on my chin.

The burial cloth would not have been folded by a grave robber if the body of Jesus had been stolen in the first place.

So, was the burial cloth folded as a sign that Jesus would one day return, or was it folded for another reason?

Mark 16:11 tells us that the disciples were completely unaware that Jesus was going to rise from the dead, let alone return.

I believe that He wanted anyone who came upon the tomb to realize right away that it was not a chaotic crime scene, but rather the scene of a resurrection. I have a strong suspicion that someone is simply suffering from an overactive imagination. Well, that’s life. Peace,dane

Comments

What is the significance of the folded napkin that was discovered in the tomb of Christ? I got an Internet forward that claimed to be a message from Jesus stating that he will come soon. Is there any truth to this?

Answer

This topic emerges as a result of the “Folded Napkin” myth that has been circulating on the Internet, particularly around the Easter holiday. It’s all about the linen that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head and had been discovered in his tomb after he died. Is there a message concealed inside the narrative of the folded napkin? Read the story that was provided to you through the internet in its full. In order to establish its legitimacy, we’ll look at how well it matches up with Scripture.

“The Folded Napkin”

After His resurrection, why did Jesus fold the linen burial garment into a square? This was something I was completely unaware of. According to the Gospel of John (John 20:7), the napkin that was put over the face of Jesus was not simply thrown away like the burial garments, but rather was buried with him. The Bible devotes a full word to inform us that the napkin had been folded nicely and was put at the top of the rocky casket in which Jesus lay. During the early hours of Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

• ‘They have stolen the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and I have no idea where they have taken him!’ she exclaimed.
• The other disciple beat Peter to the punch and arrived first.
• Afterwards, Simon Peter arrived and entered the building.
• Was it really so significant?
• Is it a significant factor in the case?
• In order to comprehend the importance of the folded napkin, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of Jewish custom from that time period.
• When the servant prepared the dinner table for the master, he made certain that everything was precisely how the master desired it to be placed.
• Whenever the master was through eating, he would get up and wipe his fingers and lips with a napkin, then wading up the napkin and tossing it upon the table to dry his hands.

Since the wadded napkin signified, “I’m finished,” it was used in those days. When the master gets up from the table and folds his napkin and places it near his plate, the servant will not dare to touch the table because the folded napkin signals, “I’m returning!”

Is the story true?

The short and simple answer is no. In order to demonstrate that the narrative is factual, there is no scriptural or historical evidence to support it. In reality, there is a great deal of evidence to support the conclusion that it is a created narrative to reinforce the belief that Jesus would return. In order to legitimize our belief in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the “Let’s Help God Society” (which is not a real organization, but you know what I mean) most likely concocted this story to make us feel better about ourselves.

Translation Variances – the Napkin/Face Cloth

It is only in the King James Version that the word “napkin” is used to denote the face cloth made of fabric. It’s worth noting that the Internet account refers to a “folded napkin,” although the King James Version states that the napkin was “wrapped,” not folded. John 20:7 (KJV) And then there was the napkin, which was wrapped around his head and not resting among the linen cloths, but bundled together in its own spot. According to the King James Version, the Greek term soudarion, which is translated as “napkin,” is rendered as “handkerchief” in the NKJV, and as “face/grave cloth” in the ESV, NASB, and other translations.

1. towel (for wiping the perspiration from the face, or binding the face of a corpse):–handkerchief, napkin.
2. There is nothing to suggest that this was a napkin in the picture.
3. It should be noted, however, that in 1611 England, the word napkin did not relate to a table napkin.
4. The term “nappy” (reduced version of “napkin”) is still used to refer to a folded cloth diaper for a baby in the United Kingdom, not a table napkin.
5. As a result, the 1611 term “napkin” in the King James Version refers to a cloth or towel.
6. The slave who received a pound hid it in a soudarion (KJV: napkin: Luke 19:20).

Translation Variances – Wrapped or Folded

Was the fabric that wrapped around Jesus’ face folded or wrapped around him? The King James Version (KJV) uses the term wrapped rather than folded. The New King James Version (NKJV) uses the term folded, but with the word handkerchief rather than napkin. 20:7 (NKJV), as well as the handkerchief that had been wrapped over His head, which was not folded along with the linen cloths, but lay folded together in a separate location. The ESV employs a folded style, whereas the NASB employs a rolled style.

John 20:7(ESV) and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, was not laying among the linen cloths, but was rolled up and placed in a separate location.

John 20:7 (NASB) The Greek word 1794, which is rendered as “wrapped” (KJV), “folded” (NKJV, ESV), and “rolled” (NASB), among other things, is “wrapped.” The word entulisso is derived from the Latin word andtulisso (to twist; maybe related to G1507), which means “to entwine,” as in “to wound up in:” –wrap everything up (together).

1. As for the others, they will be changed like a garment, but you will remain the same, and your years will not be cut short.
2. It is correctly translated as “fold” when referring to the process of folding a garment.
3. And he brought it down, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of rock, where no man had ever been laid before.
4. We may infer from a straightforward and literal reading of biblical scriptures that the napkin/face cloth was wrapped over the head of Jesus during the preparation of His body for burial by Joseph and Nicodemus (John 19:38-40).
5. Although it was still there, “wrapped together,” it was empty, and it was “in a location by itself”— which meant it was apart from the fabric that covered the body.
6. The body of Jesus was risen from the tomb by the power of the Holy Spirit, and the burial cloths simply stayed in place where his corpse had been lain, whole and fully wrapped around His body as they had been.
7. There is no truth to the tale that Jesus arose from the grave and folded the face cloth in order to leave a message to people that He would return.
8. It is not backed by the Scriptures.

This narrative appears to have been written using numerous different languages in order to concoct a napkin that is folded. If that isn’t enough to put a stop to an urban legend that spreads on the Internet, this should put an end to the whole thing (pun intended).

Historical Support Missing

Table napkins were not used by the people of Israel during the time of Jesus Christ. They ate with their hands, and they would use a slice of bread to wipe the grease off their fingers and the inside of their mouths. When they were through, they would place the slice of bread on the floor for the dogs to enjoy (see Mark 7:28). Historically, Greek texts and plays provide historical proof that bread was used to clean the hands and lips after eating meals. Ancient Rome is credited with the invention of table napkins, and the oldest English references to the usage of table napkins as a common European habit date back to roughly 1385-1385 AD.

Another “Let’s Help God” Story

For those who are still not convinced that “The Folded Napkin” Internet forward is not genuine because to translation discrepancies and untrustworthy claims made by a table napkin tradition, here’s another version that will raise even more questions. This Internet forward provides another another “spin” on the story of the folded napkin. It’s also a funny narrative that isn’t real and isn’t based on the Bible. During Jesus’ day, there was only one way for a carpenter to notify a contractor that a project was complete.

• Consider a scorching afternoon in Galilee.
• His forearms are coated with sawdust and perspiration, and his hair is matted with sawdust.
• He takes one last swig of chilly water from a leather bag, which he finds refreshing.
• He dries his face and arms with a towel that he keeps handy.
• He places it on the completed piece of art and goes away.
• The job has been completed.
• When Peter bends down to see inside an empty tomb three years after Jesus laid aside his carpenter’s tools, he will see only the linens that the resurrected Lord has left behind him.
• In order to keep it as clean as possible on the tomb’s floor, it has been folded in half twice and then folded in half once more Peter knows what you’re saying.
• It has been completed.

Conclusion

No “folded napkin” narrative or “folded towel” story is required to inform us that Jesus is returning, nor is it required to inform us that “it is completed.” We have Jesus’ word that His atoning sacrifice was sufficient to pay the penalty for our sins and that His work on the cross was completed successfully.

As we have seen, Jesus fulfilled the predictions and promises that were made before to His first coming, and He will continue to fulfill them prior to His second coming. Jesus will return a second time (John 14:1-4, Titus 2:13, Revelation 19:11).

Jesus said, “It is finished.”

What Was the Reason for Jesus Folding the Napkin? This was a ritual that every Jewish boy was familiar with. After His resurrection, why did Jesus fold the linen burial garment into a square? This was something I was completely unaware of. According to the Gospel of John (20:7), the napkin that was put over the face of Jesus was not simply thrown away like the burial cloths, but was instead burned. The Bible devotes a full word to inform us that the napkin had been folded nicely and was put at the top of the rocky casket in which Jesus lay.

• When she rushed, she was able to track down Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus adored.
• Peter and the other disciple dashed to the tomb to see what was going on.
• He came to a halt and peered inside, where he noticed the linen cloth laying on the floor, but he didn’t walk in.
• He also took note of the linen wrappings that were laying nearby, as well as the cloth that had been covering Jesus’ head, which had been folded up and lying to the side.
• Absolutely!
• Yes!
• Every Jewish youngster was familiar with the ritual of the folded napkin, which had something to do with the Master and Servant.
• Afterward, the servant would wait just out of sight till the master completed eating, and he would not dare to touch that table until the master had through eating.
• The servant would then be aware that the table needed to be cleared.
• He’s Making a Comeback!

Why did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

What was Jesus thinking as he folded the napkin? – The presence of a folded napkin in the tomb of Jesus prompts many to question why Jesus folded the napkin. What was the purpose of Jesus folding the burial cloth? on the subject of His Resurrection?

This was shared on Facebook, which I found interesting. I’m going to share with you the tale as well as some of the research that I’ve done on this particular subject with you. There has been a story about this since 2007. (maybe longer). I’m also confident that some aspects of this tale have evolved in various ways over the course of those years.

I’m going to share with you the tale as well as some of the research that I’ve done on this particular subject with you today. Because this tale dates back to 2007, it is not new (maybe longer). Over those years, I am confident that some aspects of this tale have evolved in various respects as well.

• You may argue that this is a narrative about the arrival of Spring.

• The story is based on the verse John 20:7.

Research on this story

However, some Bible translations depict a napkin, while others depict a funeral cloth. According to the website GotQuestions.com It is said that folding the napkin at the table is a Jewish tradition that signifies that the individual who folds the napkin intends to return to his or her seat. Many Bible study materials have been searched, but there is no mention of this purported Jewish ritual of folding napkins anywhere in the Bible study literature. It appears that the only references to this topic can be found in online postings and emails that appear to have been sent out in 2007.

According to the website GraceThroughFaith.com A folded napkin was mentioned in John’s gospel, but no explanation was given (John 20:7) Personally, I believe that the Lord folded the napkin to demonstrate that His departure was a planned and intentional act of His own own.

According to the website Propheticrevaltion.net The Jews, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans did not dine around an upright dining table with their legs tucked beneath the table as depicted in Leonardo Da Vinci’s iconic picture, “The Last Supper,” when Jesus was alive.

They tended to lounge on one side and eat with one hand while they were together. There were no forks, spoons, or knives on the table, and there was certainly no table tablecloth to be found.

Final thoughts

Consequently, this narrative is merely something that someone may have concocted. We may not be aware of the actual cause for this at this time, but we may be aware of the genuine reason in due course when we are in paradise. According to the results of my investigation, there is no such thing as a Jewish custom of folding a napkin. If you go to BibleGateway, you will be able to view the multiple translations of the verse John 20:7 that are available. (Simply select the parallel option.) On one of the labels, it says funeral cloth, cloth, napkin, face cloth, wrapping paper, handkerchief, and grave cloth among other things.

• Also, searching for “Jewish Folded Napkin” did not turn up any results either.
• If you know something different, please provide it along with your resource to that location.
• Jesus has risen from the dead!
• In addition, I utilized a picture from the Trail to Empty Tomb from New Market Baptist Church from 2012.
• He’ll be back, believe me!
• As previously said, God may disclose that purpose to us at some point in the future regarding the ultimate meaning of life.
• Pastor Bob Nealof Piedmont Baptist Church said that the phrase has a second connotation.
• We already know that Jesus was a carpenter, and Jesus was well aware that Peter would be aware as well.

Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

This is one that I have only seen a few of times before, so if it speaks to you, you may want to pass it along. After His resurrection, why did Jesus fold the linen burial garment into a square? This was something I had never observed before. The napkin that was placed over the face of Jesus, according to the Gospel of John (20:7), was not simply thrown away like the burial cloths, as we are told in the book of Revelation. For the Bible to tell us that the napkin was not perfectly folded and that it was laid separately from the other grave garments, it takes the full verse.

• This was the first day of the week, according to the Bible.
• ‘They have taken the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we have no idea where they have buried him!’ she said in horror.
• The other disciple (John) beat Peter to the punch and arrived first.
• Afterwards, Simon Peter arrived and entered the building.
• Was it really so significant?
• Is it a significant factor in the case?
• The importance of the folded napkin can only be understood if you are familiar with some of the Hebrew tradition of the time period.
• When the servant prepared the dinner table for the master, he made certain that everything was precisely how the master desired it to be placed.
• Now, if the master was through eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his lips, and his beard, and then wad up that napkin and toss it upon the table, as seen in the illustration.

The wadded napkin, after all, signified the phrase “I’m finished.” When the master rose from his seat and folded his napkin and placed it by his plate, the servant would not dare to touch the table because.the folded napkin signaled, ‘I’m coming back!’ 1 Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: 13However, I would not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have passed away, so that you do not mourn like others who have no hope.

14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead, God will bring those who sleep in Jesus to life with him as well.

Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, as prophesied by the prophet Joel.

We who are alive and remain will be taken up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will be with the Lord for all of time and eternity. 18 As a result, let us console one another with these words.

He is Coming Back!
