Exegesis

The coordinate clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} adds further description: he opsis autou {ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ | hē ópsis autoû} ‘his face’ stands as nominative subject for the pluperfect periededeto {περιεδέδετο | periedédeto} ‘had been wrapped’, with the dative soudario {σουδαρίῳ | soudaríō} indicating the wrapping cloth. The pluperfect highlights a prior, settled burial state that still holds at the moment he appears, accentuating that he comes forth still in grave clothes.
