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 On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.

2 So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."

3 Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running,

4 but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it before he did.

5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there on the ground, but he did not go in.
