- 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’s also kind of problematic that the Sudarium Of Oviedo is claimed to be Jesus’ face-cloth. This bloodstained rag doesn’t have an image. Why would the Shroud bear an image, but not the Sudarium?
