who ran to the tomb after Mary Magdalene said it was empty?
After Mary Magdalene reported the tomb was empty, Simon Peter and John ran to the sepulcher. John, the other disciple, came first to the tomb. The context identifies both men as running there, shocked because they did not yet understand the Scripture that He must rise from the dead.
Les explains that in John’s Gospel chapter 20, verse 8, Peter and John have now run after Mary Magdalene told them the tomb was empty. Everybody is shocked, because they had no idea He was going to rise from the dead, even though He had told them. It was hid from them; God kept it secret even though He said it in plain language. On resurrection morning, Simon Peter and John run to that empty sepulcher. Verse 8 says the other disciple, John, who came first to the sepulcher, went in also, saw, and believed. The next verse shows that as yet they knew not the Scripture that He must rise again from the dead.
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
