PETER AND JOHN VISIT THE TOMB

Comments

Luke

John

Peter & John run to the tomb. See Note 1.

[24:12a] But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb;

[20:3] Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

John looks into the tomb. See Note 2.

 

[4] And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; [5] and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

Peter enters and inspects the tomb.

[12b] and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves;

[6] Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, [7] and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

John enters the tomb. He now believes that the body is gone, but still doesn't understand the resurrection.

 

[8] Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

They return home, uncertain as to the full meaning of what has happened. See Note 3.

[12c] and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

[9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

[10] So the disciples went away again unto their own home.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

1) The women (at least some of them) also return to the tomb - see John 20:11. (But they probably didn't try to keep-up with the apostles, who were running!)

2) The angels do not show themselves to Peter and John.

3) The two apostles now believe that something happened, but do not yet understand it.
