Question
What did it represent when Jesus folded his napkin?
I need more of a reference point to answer this.
After his resurrection Peter and John find the burial napkin that had covered Jesus' face but was now laid aside: John 20:7: And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
Lazarus' face was covered with a similar napkin and Jesus ordered it removed after raising him from the dead (John 11:44).
The only other reference to a napkin is at Luke 19:20 and has to do with finances.
Please include the verse and/or context of your question.
~ John of AllFaith

Expertise
I will be happy to discuss all aspects of Christianity, Judaism, biblical doctrine, prophecies, etc. The Bible offers a wealth of information to us! So if you are wondering what the Bible has to say about any topic drop me a note.
After 40 plus years of study and research I have concluded that the religion taught by Y'shua (Jesus) is best defined as authentic Messianic Judaism. This is the approach I bring to these questions. If you are interested in a Messianic Jewish perspective I'm here to answer.
I have hands-on experience with several different Christian denominations as well as with Judaism, the Noahide movements, Islam and more.
I head our shul's (synagogue's) free online Yeshiva Beth HaShem: http://templebethhashem.org/yeshiva if you would like to learn more about Messianic Judaism.
