Scripture focus

3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5. And he stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7. And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 10. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

Commentary on John 20:3

Theological / Devotional

Came to the sepulchre. The incident related in vs. 3-10 remarkably reflects the different temperaments of Peter and John. John was quiet, reserved, deep feeling (see on Mark 3:17); Peter was impulsive, zealous, and forward (see on Mark 3:16). Each reacted in his characteristic fashion upon the receipt of the news from Mary.
