Actually, from the description it kind of looks like Jesus stopped and folded the face cloth before leaving the tomb. After all, it would honor his Mom who doubtless told Him to fold His clothes neatly :-)
(And no I don’t mean a microgram of sarcasm or irreverence there. It would be so Jesus to do it.)
I have no doubt he was a good Jewish boy. ;o)
One of the many explanations about the validity of the resurrection is the condition of the burial materials. The facecloth being folded and placed in a corner away from the rest helps prove some explanations that disprove the resurrection were NOT true such as:
1. Jesus had only "swooned" (fainted) and wasn't really dead but in the cool of the tomb, he revived and escaped. Only, he WAS dead as was verified by the Roman soldiers who were experts on crucifixion. Plus, Jesus would not have been able to unwrap himself from the cloths, much less eased out of them so well they retained their original shape, nor would he have taken the time to fold up the face cloth in his beaten-to-crap state, much less had the energy to roll back the stone guarding the entrance while slipping past the legion of soldiers tasked with ensuring no funny business happened to him.
2. Some wild animals ate him. (one of the funnier ones) Would wild animals have neatly unwrapped Jesus' body and folded the facecloth? Wouldn't the cave be covered with shredded cloth and body parts? Wouldn't the guards have heard something?
3. His disciples stole the body. Except they were just as shocked he really did rise from the dead as he said he would. They would have had to get past the guards assigned to prevent that exact thing from happening including rolling the heavy stone away from the entrance. They would not have taken the time to unwrap Jesus' body nor removed the face cloth, neatly folding it and placing it away from the rest. If they HAD stolen his body, they would have taken it as is.
There are other "explanations" attempting to disprove the resurrection and it's no surprise the creative ideas people have who are eager to do so. I think, greater than finding tangible evidence tying to Jesus' resurrection, the fact that practically EVERY single one of the Apostles were martyred for their faith in Jesus and his resurrection proving he was who he claimed to be, has to be the most convincing. Many people have died for what was a lie, but NOBODY dies for something they KNOW is a lie.
