Jesus' shroud is the mythical cloth that covered the dead body of Jesus, but there is no record of this in the Bible. Rather, this scripture illustrates the manner of Jesus' burial. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. (John 19.40)
Mary and Martha prepared the body of Jesus for burial.
It was the custom at that time to bury a person wrapped in linens with spices because they had no other way to deal with the odor of a dead body. Because Jesus was buried in a hurry, because the Sabbath was coming and it was against the law of God to touch a dead body on the Sabbath, His body had not been prepared for burial in this way. So they came to do this, on Sunday, which was after the Sabbath.
Some women went to visit Jesus' tomb to anoint his body with spices and perfumes, as was the custom for burials during that time. They wanted to show their love and respect for Jesus by performing this final act of care.
At the time of Jesus, the dead person's body was typically washed and anointed with oils or perfumes. It was wrapped in burial cloths, often with spices, and placed in a tomb or grave. Occasionally, the body may have been placed in a cave or catacomb.
The time of Jesus' death meant that the body had to be quickly buried before the Sabbath began at sunset. No work could be done on the Jewish Sabbath. The women returned before dawn after the end of the Sabbath intending to anoint the body of Jesus which they could not complete after He died.
The Gospel of Mark records that Joseph of Arimathea recovered the body of Jesus and wrapped him in fine linen ( a Jewish burial practice) and placed His body in a tomb. It also says that Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome had bought sweet spice, that they might come and anoint him (another Jewish burial practice) the very next morning. According to Jewish burial laws, burial of the deceased had to occur within 24 hours of the individuals death (Deut. 21:23). There just are not very many details in the Gospels surrounding the specifics of Jesus' burial but it does appear as if those who loved Him were trying to perform their duties with regards to providing a proper burial. Jesus' resurrection most assuredly halted the process.
John 19:38-42 NIV: 38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[c] 40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
The binding of Jesus' body was described in the Book of John, chapter 19, verses 38-40 (Holman Christian Standard Version): After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away. Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes. Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
It was Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus who buried Jesus. - John 19:38-40
Joseph of Arimathea.
The disciple/apostle John records in his gospel chapter 19 verses 38 thru 42: Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus' body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus' body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
