Strong's Lexicon othonion: Linen cloth, linen wrapping Original Word: ὀθόνιον Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: othonion Pronunciation: o-tho'-nee-on Phonetic Spelling: (oth-on'-ee-on) Definition: a linen bandage, a wrapping. Meaning: A small piece of linen cloth, often used to refer to linen strips or bandages. Word Origin: Diminutive form of ὀθόνη (othonē), meaning "linen cloth" or "sail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀθόνιον, as it is a term specific to the Greek language and culture. However, the concept of linen cloths used in burial can be related to Hebrew terms for linen, such as בּוּץ (buts, Strong's Hebrew 948) or שֵׁשׁ (shesh, Strong's Hebrew 8336), which refer to fine linen materials used in various contexts, including priestly garments and other sacred uses. Usage: The term ὀθόνιον is used in the New Testament to describe the linen cloths used for wrapping a body, particularly in the context of Jesus' burial. Context: The Greek term ὀθόνιον appears in the New Testament in the context of burial practices during the time of Jesus. It is specifically used to describe the linen cloths that were used to wrap the body of Jesus after His crucifixion. This practice was in accordance with Jewish burial customs, where the deceased were wrapped in linen cloths before being placed in a tomb. In the Gospel of John, ὀθόνιον is mentioned in the account of the resurrection. John 19:40 (BSB) states, "So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom." This indicates the use of ὀθόνιον in preparing Jesus' body for burial. Furthermore, in John 20:5-7 (BSB), the term is used to describe the linen cloths found in the empty tomb: "He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth that had been around Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a separate place by itself." The presence of the ὀθόνιον in the empty tomb serves as a testament to the resurrection of Jesus, as the cloths were left behind, indicating that His body was no longer there. This detail underscores the miraculous nature of the resurrection and the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy about His rising from the dead.
