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 The first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet he did not go in.
