Episode notes
The Race to the Tomb
- John beat Peter in a race to Jesus' empty tomb, but Peter ventured inside first.
- John initially saw the graveclothes, while Peter noticed the folded facecloth.
The Folded Facecloth
- John didn't believe Jesus resurrected when he only saw the graveclothes, only when noticing the neatly folded facecloth.
- This implies the body wasn't stolen, as thieves wouldn't take the time to fold.
Jesus' Habits
- Ferguson wonders if Jesus had a habit of folding his facecloth, like folding a sweat cloth after work.
- The folded cloth symbolized Jesus completing his work of salvation.
