The scripture doesn't agree with a shroud, but with strips which Jesus was wrapped in. Like a mummy. When Joseph was taken out of Egypt he was mummified. The Israelites took their burial practices from the Egyptians, not the Romans, or Medieval Europe who used burial shrouds. Yet, even if we didn't have a debate on history, we still have the record of the scriptures.
In
John 20:6-7 we have a more detailed description of how Jesus was buried.
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen
clothes lie, And the
napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself.
John 20:7 brings doubt to the whole shroud story. The Bible describes that Peter didn't find a single shroud of cloth. But Peter found the windings. Because both scriptures say linen cloths, which we understand as the winding strips. In
John 6:7 we are also directed to a face cloth, napkin, a handkerchief. Jesus was wrapped in linen, not laid in a sheet that cover the body, front and back. Jesus' head was wrapped in a napkin, and His body wrapped in clothes.
In my opinion the scripture doesn't back up a shroud, but windings and a face winding. The scripture made a point to note these things.
Thank you Sister Amanah for the video.
