Did really Jesus of Nazareth lie under the cloth? 
 
In all Gospels a shroud (or linen cloths) is mentioned, into which the corpse had been laid: „Joseph bought a large  linen cloth, took Jesus of the cross, wrapped him in the cloth and laid him in a tomb" (Marc 15:46). 
On Easter morning it was found by Peter and John in the tomb „folded together on one side of the tomb" (John 20:6-7). 
 
There was a shroud of Jesus, the question is of course: should this shroud really have been preserved for a period of 2000 years and be identically with the „Shroud of Turin”? 
 
The answer is: All traces on the shroud correspond precisely with the passion reports of the Bible. The man of the shroud had carried a kind of crown of thorns as many bleeding wounds on the forehead and on the back of the head indicate. This was unique in the history of crucifixions, because the soldiers made fun with the "king of the Jews".
