Notes

John 20:8–9

he saw and believed: Even though he did not fully understand, John knew God had done this, and he realized Jesus was alive.

John 20:3–10

The other disciple was likely John, "the one whom Jesus loved" and the author of this Gospel (see 13:23). He and Peter confirmed Mary's testimony by checking the tomb themselves. John got there first, but Peter went in first.
