The opposite is true.
Servants were very aware of this custom in their master’s household.
The folded napkin meant that they had left the table but would be BACK to finish the meal.
The rumple napkin meant that they were finished eating!
In other words, Christ was telling everyone, including us, that He will be back!
Alleluia!
If you have Jesus Himself, you forget about the peripherals. Especially things like freshly used graveclothes. which to Jewish minds would be about as attractive to handle as an equal mass of freshly dropped human excreta.
You are misinformed. Gathering blood and parts is a Judaic custom; always has been, always will be. The abandoned burial shroud of Jesus Christ, was a miracle. Nothing less and so much more...
I had never thought of this before, but I find it significant that the blood type on the shroud is AB, the universal recipient.
HE can receive us all. Even his blood is proof of that.
At first I thought HE would have type “O” (the universal donor), but he already has given all, that HE can receive us all now.
Wow. Praise God.
