I think in this case, NIV just has it wrong. It wasn’t “strips” of linen. Most versions say “clothes” or “Linen” or “Cloth”.

I am a firm believer that the “Shroud of Turin” is indeed the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. I have researched this over the years and without a doubt in my mind, that it is real.

The scripture is pretty clear on this stuff...

Joh 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
Joh 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

The Jews of that time had a standard burial practice which consisted of covering the body with a mixture of salves and herbs and spices...And of course there had to be a way to keep this mixture on the body without it falling or smearing off...They accomplished that by winding 3-4 inch strips of cloth around the body while adding layers of the salve between the layers of cloth...

A primary verb; to bind (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - bind, be in bonds, knit, tie, wind. See also G1163, G1189.

Joh 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
Joh 19:40 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.

That's a very clear picture of what took place...It leaves nothing to the imagination...

Joh 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

You claim the bible account has been refuted...People may disagree with the words of God but they have not been refuted...

John 20:6 the word κείμενα gives a sense of the linens 'laying yet'as if they lay there in the shape of Jesus but He is not in them any longer.
