Exegesis
The articular noun phrase to soudarion {τὸ σουδάριον | tó sou-dá-ri-on} serves as the subject, and is immediately specified by the relative clause ho ēn epi tēs kephalēs autou {ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ | ho ēn epí tês ke-pha-lês au-toû}, “which was upon His head,” identifying this cloth as the one that had covered Jesus.
The negated participial phrase ou meta tōn othoniōn keimenon {οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον | ou metá tōn o-tho-ní-ōn keí-me-non} describes the face cloth by what is not true of it: it was not lying with the other linen cloths.
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 .
