One garment was removed in crucifixion and remained intact (not divided, but cast lots for). After resurrection there are two garments - one for the head, one for the body. And John saw, and believed.I have edited and added the text. Please feel free to revert if you wish. – Nigel J Apr 05 '18 at 13:43

John appears to have made the point that Jesus arose through the garments leaving them laying in place as when he was dead. – Perry Webb Apr 05 '18 at 20:22
