Sindon is a cloth used either as a garment or for wrapping a body for burial.

The term denotes a cloth: it is worn over a young man’s body in Mark 14:51 and Mark 14:52, and it is used to wrap a body before placement in a tomb in Mark 15:46, Matthew 27:59, and Luke 23:53.

   The accusative form occurs with the cloth worn over the young man’s body and left behind as he fled in Mark 14:51 and Mark 14:52; the APB renders the clause “wearing a linen cloth over his naked body.” In Mark 15:46, Matthew 27:59, and Luke 23:53, the supplied forms occur in clauses about wrapping a body and placing it in a tomb; the APB renders “wrapped him in the linen” and “wrapped it in linen.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “linen cloth” when it is worn in Mark 14:51 and as “linen” in the burial-wrapping clauses. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish separate meanings.
