'''John, Chapter 20''' is the [[Resurrection]] as described in the [[Gospel of John]]. Chapter 20:1-29 is the portion of this [[Gospel]] which describes the-[[Crucifixion]] events ([[ESV]]). This contains a full discussion of what may be the [[Shroud of Turin]] and the face cloth known today as the [[Sudarium of Oviedo]].
