- The cloth is incompatible with New Testament accounts of Jesus' burial. John's gospel (19:38-42, 20:5-7) specifically states that the body was "wound" with "linen clothes". We're told that on reaching the empty tomb, they 'saw the strips of linen lying there'. Still another cloth (called "the napkin") covered his face and head. In contrast, the Shroud of Turin represents a single, draped cloth (laid under and then over the "body").
It is reasonable to assume that the twice mentioned “linen cloths” (along with the words “strips” or “wrappings” in some translations) describe what is now called the Shroud of Turin. But what then is the “handkerchief that had been around His head.”? The “handkerchief” or “napkin” (in some translations) is thought to be what is named the "Sudarium of Oviedo."

Wrong! Wrapping the body with strips of cloth, as mentioned in the Bible, is similar to the way Egyptian mummies were wrapped when prepared for burial. Strips of cloth are, in no way, identical to a shroud, which is a single sheet of cloth. Not only is the Shroud inconsistent with the biblical account, it is also inconsistent with Jewish funerary practices of the period.
