John 20:3 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:3

Peter therefore went forth
Out of the house where he was, upon hearing the account Mary gave:

and that other disciple;
John, the Evangelist and Apostle; the rest of the disciples staying at home and continuing together, waiting to hear what account these two would bring:

and came to the sepulchre;
to see with their own eyes what was done, and whether things were as Mary had related; and to make a more particular inquiry into, and examination of them.

John 20:3 In-Context

1 Now on the first day of the week, Miryam from Magdala went early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

2 She ran therefore, and came to Shim`on Kefa, and to the other talmid whom Yeshua loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!"

3 Kefa therefore went forth, and the other talmid, and they went toward the tomb.

4 They both ran together. The other talmid outran Kefa, and came to the tomb first.

5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in.
