Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allá} introduces a sharp contrast, followed by chōris entetuligmenon {χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον | khō-rís en-te-tu-lig-mé-non}, “apart, having been wrapped up,” where chōris emphasizes spatial separation and the perfect passive participle entetuligmenon {ἐντετυλιγμένον | en-te-tu-lig-mé-non} conveys a completed action with continuing result, suggesting deliberate arrangement.
In context — John 20:7
And the face cloth that was upon His head was not lying with the linen cloths, but was set apart, having been wrapped up in one place .
