Context — The Discovery of the Empty Tombgenerated
John 20:5 describes the moment when the disciple arrived at the tomb and bent down to look inside. This action is significant as it reflects both curiosity and caution in the face of the miraculous event of Jesus' resurrection. The context shows a contrast between the disciple's initial hesitation and Peter's later decisive action in John 20:6, highlighting different responses to the empty tomb.

The Key Word — παρακύψας, parakuptōgenerated
The word παρακύπτω (i.e., *parakupto*) is a verb meaning to stoop or lean over in order to look at something. It conveys the action of bending down to gain a better view, as seen in this verse where the disciple peers into the tomb.
In this context, the participle form indicates that the action of stooping down is simultaneous with the act of seeing. The disciple's action is cautious, reflecting a desire to observe without fully entering the tomb.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study uses the Berean Standard Bible as the baseline, which states, 'He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.' The KJV and ASV also convey the action of stooping down, but with slight variations in wording.
Translations differ primarily in how they render the participle παρακύψας. The KJV uses 'stooping', while the YLT opts for 'having stooped down'. Similarly, the verb βλέπει is rendered as 'saw' in some versions and 'he sees' in others, showing a range of interpretations.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the sentence is βλέπει, he sees, which governs the action of looking into the tomb. The structure includes a participial phrase παρακύψας describing how he sees, and a noun phrase τὰ ὀθόνια as the object of his sight.
The sentence is composed of one main clause and several subordinate phrases that provide detail about the actions and objects involved, illustrating the disciple's cautious observation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In John 20:5, the Greek word βλέπει (blepō), meaning 'he sees', corresponds to the Hebrew word רָאָה (rāʾâ), which also means 'to see'. This choice emphasizes the act of perception, highlighting the significance of what is being observed in the context of the resurrection narrative.
The second Greek word, εἰσῆλθεν (eiserchomai), translates the Hebrew בּוֹא (bôʾ), meaning 'to enter'. This connection underscores the action of entering the tomb, which is crucial to the unfolding events of the resurrection.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The tense still describes the scene as it actually occurred. The words “looking in” rightly complete the meaning. (Comp. Note on John 11:38, and for the word, Note on Luke 24:12.) It is used again in the New Testament only in John 20:11, James 1:25, and 1 Peter 1:12. It meant, originally, to stoop sideways, and was used, e.g., of a harp-player; then, to stoop over, peer into, inquire into. For the “linen clothes,” comp. John 19:40. Yet went he not in.—He is restrained by wonder, not unaccompanied, perhaps, by fear, at what he sees, and waits for his friend and companion.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word παρακύπτω (i.e., *parakupto*) means to stoop or lean over in order to look at something, often implying a sideways glance or peeking in. It appears in the New Testament in contexts like Luke 24:12 and John 20:5, 11, where individuals look into tombs. The lexicons suggest a range of meanings from casual glances to more attentive observations.
παρα-κύπτω: 1 Δ0Υ. παρέκυψα; to stoop to (ef. παρά, IV. 1] @ thing in order to look at it; to look at with head bowed forwards ; to look into with the body bent; to stoop and look into: Lk. xxiv. 12 [T om.

(Arstph., Theocr., Philo, Dio Cass., Plut., al. ; Sept.)
παρακύπτω. In accordance with its derivation this verb suggests primarily looking at something not immediately in the line of vision, which may be seen e.g. by stretching or stooping, and, ‘“‘ when used figuratively, it commonly implies a rapid and cursory glance, never the contrary’ (Hort ad 1 Pet 117; see also his note on Jas 17°), An instructive ex. is P Oxy III. 47525 (aA.p. 182) where a slave, anxious to catch a glimpse of castanet-players in the court below, is described as—Bovdnfels ἀπὸ τοῦ δώματος τῆς αὐτῆς οἰκίας παρακύψαι : cf.

The Greek word βλέπω (i.e., *blepo*) primarily means 'to see' or 'to look at,' encompassing both physical sight and metaphorical perception. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 12:22 and Acts 9:9, where it denotes both literal and figurative understanding.

It is hard to believe that a form so correct historically, and so distant from any obvious analogy, can be anything but a genuine survival, even if it does meet us only ἴῃ ἃ woman’s letter from Ptolemaic Egypt. If this inference is justifiable, the word has a moral for the argument from silence. Βλέπω has primarily the physical sense, as distinguished from ὁρῶ (cf. our cognate ware): this is well seen in ἀναβλέπω = recover sight. Usage bears this out. Thus P Par 445 (B.c. 153) (= Witkowski?, p. 83) has βλέπω Μενέδημον κατατρέχοντά pe coming after ἐγὼ yap ἐνύπνια ὁρῶ πονηρά.

κεῖμαι, transliterated as keimai, is a verb meaning to lie or be laid down, often used in a passive sense. It encompasses various contexts, including lying down as a person or object, being situated, or being appointed for a purpose. In the New Testament, it appears in references to an infant (Lk 2:12), a dead body (Mt 28:6), and metaphorically to describe laws or states of being (1 Tim 1:9, 1 Jn 5:19).
κεῖμαι; impf. 3 pers. sing. ἔκειτο; fo lie; 1. prop.: of an infant, foll. by ἐν w. dat. of place, Lk. ii. 12 [Tdf. om. κείμ.], 16; of one buried: ὅπου or οὗ, Mt. xxviii. 6; Lk. xxiii. 53; Jn. xi. 41 Rec.; xx. 12; of things that quietly cover some spot, Lk. xxiv. 12 [RGLbr.]; Jn. xx. 5-7; xxi. 9; with ἐπί re added, 2 Co. iii. 15; ἐπάνω τινός (of a city situated on a hill), Mt. v. 14; also of things put or set in any place, in ref. to which we often use to stand: thus of vessels, Jn. ii. 6; xix. 29, (χύτρας κειμένας, Xen. oec. 8,19); of a throne, Rev. iv. 2 (Jer. xxiv. 1; Hom.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word ὀθόνιον (othonion) is a diminutive form of ὀθόνη and refers to a piece of fine linen or a linen bandage. It appears in the New Testament in contexts related to burial cloths, specifically in Luke 24:12 and John 19:40, 20:5-7. The lexicons note its use for various linen items, including bandages and cloths.
ὀθόνιον, -ov, τό, (dimin. of ὀθόνη, 4. v-), a piece of linen, small linen cloth: plur. strips of linen cloth for swathing the dead, Lk. xxiv. 12 [Tom.L Trbr. WH reject the vs.]; Jn. xix. 40; xx. 5-7. (In Grk. writ. of ships’ sails made of linen, bandages for wounds, and other articles; Sept. for p10, Judg. xiv. 13; for TAWD or Π3, Hos. ii. 5 (7), 9 (11).)
ὀθόνιον. Wilcken Ostr i. p. 266 ff. has shown that by ὀθόνιον in Egypt we must understand fine linen stuff, both in its manufactured and in its unmanufactured state. Its manufacture was a government monopoly: cf. P Tebt I. 5° (B.c. 118) ἀφειᾶστι] δὲ kal τοὺς ἐπιστάτας τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ ἱερ[εῖς τῶν] ὀφε[ι]λομένων πρός τε τὰ ἐπιστατικὰ

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),
[in LXX for לֹא, אַיִן, אֵין;]
neg. particle,
not, no, used generally c. indic. and for a denial of fact (cf . μή);
absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

The Greek word μέντοι (mentoi) is a particle that conveys affirmation and can also indicate opposition, meaning 'yet', 'however', or 'nevertheless'. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including John 4:27 and Jude 8. The word is derived from a combination of μέν and τοι, and its usage often emphasizes certainty or introduces contrasting clauses.
μέν-τοι = μέν τοι,
yet, however: Jo 4:27, al.; εἰ μ., Ja 2:8 (if indeed).
μέν-τοι, (μέν, τοί), [Tr μέν τοι in 2 Tim. ii. 19], a particle of affirmation, and hence also often of opposition (on its various use in class. Grk. ef. Devar. p. 124 sq. and Klotz’s comments, vol. ii. 2 pp. 60 and 663 sqq.; Herm. ad Vig. p. 840 sq-), but yet, nevertheless, howbeit: Jn. iv. 27; vii. 13; xx. 5; xxi. 4; 2 Tim. ii. 19; Jude 8 (the connection of which vs. with what precedes is as follows: ‘although these examples were set forth as warnings, nevertheless’ ete.) ; ὅμως μέντοι, yet nevertheless, Jn. xii. 42; μέντοι, i. q. rather, Jas. ii. 8 (if ye do not have respect ot persons, but rather observe the law of love, with which προσωποληψιία is incompatible; [if however, howbeit if |).
μέντοι. For this particle of affirmation, which was originaliy a strengthened μέν, cf. P Tebt II. 4111? (ii/a.p.) μηδὲν μέντοι θορυβηθῇς, ‘do not be disturbed however,” P Giss I. 475 (time of Hadrian) (= Cérest.

The Greek word εἰσέρχομαι (*eiserchomai*) means to enter, either literally or figuratively. It is composed of the prefix εἰς (into) and the root ἔρχομαι (to come). This term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including entering a house (Matthew 8:5) or the kingdom of God (Matthew 7:13). It can also refer to entering into states of being or experiences, such as hope or temptation.
