Luke 18:34 provides a better explanation for disciples’ reaction at the tomb. And they don't say anything about images on cloth, the clothes be significant only because they were left there from Jesus’ burial and resurrection.

The bible accounts don't support a shroud but rather a wound around cloth. (Mark 15:46 and John 19:40)

Luke 18:34

The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

The passages I cited in John say the same thing.

So what did John "see and believe"? And why did he "see and believe"?

The Bible seems to be silent with regard to these questions. But it seems that God has provided a compelling answer in the Shroud.

But a wound cloth does not agree with Jewish burial practices of the period. You are also using an English translation of a Greek word that has multiple possible connotations, one if which is "placed around".
