Upon seeing the empty tomb, Mary Magdalene thought someone had stolen Jesus' body. If someone had done this, however, they probably would have taken everything of value in the tomb, including the expensive burial linens. Instead, the linens were neatly placed on the bench. When "the other disciple" saw this, he was convinced that Jesus had truly risen from the dead (20:1-8).
