5 The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I have not rebelled or turned away. 6 I offered my back to those who beat me and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard. I did not hide my face from mockery and spitting.
Isaiah 50:5,6 (New Living Translation)
In this verse, Isaiah prophesies that Jesus' back will be brutally beaten. This is an official STURP photo of the image on The Shroud Of Turin which shows his back was brutally beaten, leaving scores of scourge marks across the entire back.
16 My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
Psalms 22:16 (New Living Translation)
In this verse, King David's prophecy talks about evil people coming against Jesus, crucifying him, and mentions that Jesus' hands and feet were pierced. This is an official STURP photo of the image on The Shroud Of Turin which shows the hands have been pierced with large nails (spikes), as well as the blood flowing from those wounds down the forearms.
16 My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
Psalms 22:16 (New Living Translation)

1 Oh foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ's death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.
Galatians 3:1 (New Living Translation)
This is from Paul's letter to the people of Galatia. He clearly references that Jesus Christ was crucified, but he also refers to a picture of Jesus' death on the cross! The image on The Shroud of Turin is literally the picture of Jesus after he died on the cross. Scientists found it even has 3-dimensional properties. These two official STURP photos show the whole body, from the front and the rear.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
John 19:2 (King James Version)
This official STURP photo of the head (from the FRONT) shows he bled profusely from numerous puncture wounds in the scalp. These were probably caused by a cap of thorns which covered the top, sides, and rear of his head.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
Mark 15:17 (King James Version)
This official STURP photo of the head (from the REAR) shows he bled profusely from numerous puncture wounds in the scalp. These were probably caused by a cap of thorns which covered the top, sides, and rear of his head.
"We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist. The bloodstains are composed of hemoglobin and also give a positive test for serum albumin."

About This Section
The bible was written over a period of literally thousands of years, by a host of different authors - and was completed about two thousand years ago. Much of it was written before the life of Jesus Christ.
It's amazing to see just how much of the bible - EVEN MUCH OF WHAT WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST - correlates exactly to what we can physically SEE on the Shroud of Turin.
This section features a number of scriptures from the bible, their exact reference locations within the bible, and a brief explanation of what the scripture is telling us. Wherever possible, we then share the exact poriton of the image on the Shroud of Turin which both verifies and clearly illustrates that biblical point.
In short, we show you the actual scientific images colleted by the Shroud of Turin Research Program, and you can actually SEE FOR YOURSELF that what the bible says is clearly visible on the Shroud Of Turin!
