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.
