John 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

These verses disprove the notion that the shroud of Turin is authentic.

The shroud is one piece of cloth depicting the body of Jesus from the head down. Verse 7 states the cloth napkin about his head was wrapped together separately so making it impossible for the face of Jesus to have been imprinted on the same piece of cloth as his body.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that before.

The shroud is interesting. I once saw someone copy it using techinques available during medieval times. It was an exact replica.

It does not say the napkin was on his head.   The linen clothes could have covered the whole body.   But, since clothes is plural that could indicate there was not just one piece of cloth covering his whole body.   We were not there, so this is just an argument from silence.    A better refutation of miracles like this is blood type.
