Take a guard! Go, make the

Then Simon Peter …went into the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there; But the burial napkin (kerchief) which had been around Jesus' head, was not lying with the other linen cloths, but was still rolled up (wrapped round and round) in a place by itself. (John 20:6-9 Amplified Bible)
![Page 23: What Christians believe about… From EffectiveChildrensMinistry.org](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56649f275503460f94c3ee33/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went in too; and he saw and was convinced and believed .
(John 20:6-9 Amplified Bible)

Why are the grave clothes such convincing evidence?

through the grave clothes
