![]() ![]() ![]() The cloth was stained with blood and had been defiled by its contact with a corpse. However, when they found the funeral linens, something about their appearance caused the disciple to “believe” (John 20.8). Peter and “the disciple whom Jesus loved” found the tomb empty of a corpse on Resurrection Day. The image of an oval plate with three Hebrew letters on it, which can be seen under the chin of the body on the Turin Shroud, may be the image of John Mark’s petalon, the Jewish ornament which distinguished him as a ruler.īased on an abundance of scientific and historical evidence that has surfaced in recent years, the author believes the Shroud of Turin is the genuine burial cloth that Joseph of Arimathea purchased and used to wrap the body of Jesus. I also account for the two missing corners of the Turin Shroud margin as an effort by John Mark to hide the fact that the burial shroud was his unique temple garment. This may account for the seam and margin in the Turin Shroud. I also identify John Mark as having a high office in the temple, for which he wore a white sindōn with an ornamental margin, at the corners of which a blue cord could be fastened or loosened, in order to fulfill both the commandment of Num 15,38 for all garments and the conflicting commandment of Ex 28,5-6 for temple garments. I explain that it is possible and probable that Joseph of Arimathea bought the garment to give Jesus a burial “as is the burial custom of the Jews” (John 19,40), namely: in a garment. In this article I identify the garment left by the young man who "ran away naked" (Mark 14,51-52) with the burial shroud of Jesus (John 19-20) and that young man with the secret disciple John Mark, co-author of the Gospel of John. ![]()
