Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g617 Greek: apokulio | apokulizo

Roll (Noun and Verb):

"to roll away" (apo, "from," kulio, "to roll;" cp. Eng., "cylinder," etc.), is used of the sepulchre stone, Mat 28:2; Mar 16:3 (ver. 4 in some mss.; see No. 2); Luk 24:2. In the Sept., Gen 29:3, 8, 10.

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g303 g2947 Greek: anakulio

(a) of the "rolling" up of a mantle, illustratively of the heavens, Hbr 1:12, RV;

(b) of the "rolling" up of a scroll, Rev 6:14, illustratively of the removing of the heaven.

A-5 Verb Strong's Number: g1794 Greek: entulisso

Roll (Noun and Verb):

"to wrap up, roll round or about," is translated "rolled up" in Jhn 20:7, RV, of the cloth or "napkin" that had been wrapped around the head of the Lord before burial. Both the RV and the AV, "wrapped together," might suggest that this cloth had been "rolled" or wrapped up and put in a certain part of the tomb at the Lord's resurrection, whereas, as with the body wrappings, the head cloth was lying as it had been "rolled" round His head, an evidence, to those who looked into the tomb, of the fact of His resurrection without any disturbance of the wrappings either by friend or foe or when the change took place. It is followed by en, "in," and translated "wrapped" in Mat 27:59, a meaning and construction which Moulton and Milligan illustrate from the papyri; in Luk 23:53 it is followed by the dative of the noun sindon, "linen cloth," used instrumentally.
See WRAP.
