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 And in one day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the grave, when it was yet dark [+Forsooth in one day of the sabbath, that is, of the week, Mary Magdalene came early, when darknesses were yet, at the grave]. And she saw the stone moved away from the grave.

2 Therefore she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to another disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken the Lord from the grave, and we know not, where they have laid him.

3 Therefore Peter went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the grave.

4 And they twain ran together [Forsooth they two ran together], and that other disciple ran before Peter, and came first to the grave.

5 And when he stooped, he saw the sheets lying, nevertheless he entered not [in].
