The first thing that stuck in the minds of the disciples was not the empty tomb, but rather the empty grave clothes - undisturbed in form and position.

Summary

This quote suggests that the disciples' initial focus was not on the fact that Jesus' tomb was empty, but rather on the peculiar state of the grave clothes left behind. The mention of the grave clothes being undisturbed in form and position implies that Jesus did not exit the tomb in a hurried or chaotic manner. This detail possibly indicates something extraordinary happening, causing the disciples to question how the body could have disappeared while leaving the grave clothes neatly intact.
