∙ 13y agoThe gospels appear to make specific mention of the linen cloths found loose in the tomb, to demonstrate to the readers that the body of Jesus was not taken by grave robbers. It is most unlikely that grave robbers would unwrap a corpse before removing it.
John's account is even more specific. The author knew that it was the practice among first century Jews to use a separate cloth to cover the face of the deceased, and he mentions this at John 20:7. This has unintended significance because one of Catholicism's prized relics, the Shroud of Turin, shows the image of a man wrapped in a single cloth. If scientific and historical evidence of the fabrication of the Shroud were not already available, this piece of evidence would prove it. Either Jesus was wrapped in a single cloth, against all Jewish custom, and John's Gospel is wrong, or the Turin Shroud is a fabrication.

* No, Jesus wore clothes when he appeared to the disciples. He did not have to find clothes, because he is God and he clothed himself. * When Jesus left the tomb he would have most likely been naked and would have sought out clothes as appropriate. * Jesus' appearance did not strike Mary Magdalene as unusual as she mistook Him for the gardener. One supposes that gardeners in that day did not not do their work naked ...

Was Jesus laid in the tomb and covered in incense?
No, the body of Jesus was not "covered in incense." Aromatic herbs and spices were used, and may have been in the form of salves or mixed with resins. These may well have been the same or similar to herbs used in incense. The body itself may have been rubbed with fragrant salves, then more herbs and spices would have been tucked into the linen clothes that were wrapped around the body.
