Summary

In Luke 24:12, Peter runs to the tomb after hearing the women's report of Jesus' resurrection, and he sees the linen cloths lying by themselves. This detail signifies that Jesus' body was not stolen, as the linen cloths were left behind in an orderly manner. The empty tomb and the linen cloths serve as evidence of Jesus' resurrection, fulfilling His promise of rising from the dead. This moment marks the beginning of the disciples' realization of the miraculous event that had taken place, leading to their eventual understanding of Jesus' victory over death.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Then arose Peter - John went with him, and got to the tomb before him. See Joh 20:2, Joh 20:3. The linen clothes laid by themselves - Or, The linen clothes only. This was the fine linen which Joseph of Arimathea bought, and wrapped the body in: Mar 15:46. Small as this circumstance may at first view appear, it is, nevertheless, no mean proof of the resurrection of our Lord. Had the body been stolen away, all that was wrapped about it would have been taken away with it; as the delay which must have been occasioned by stripping it might have led to the detection of the theft; nor would the disciples have run such a risk if they had stolen him, when stripping the body could have answered no end. This circumstance is related still more particularly by John, Joh 20:5-7. Peter seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen clothes, but Wrapped together in a place by itself. All these circumstances prove that the thing was done leisurely; order and regularity being observed through the whole. Hurry and confusion necessarily mark every act of robbery.
