Context of John 20:2

1Early on the first day of the week, Mary from Magdala went to the hole in the rock. It was still dark. She saw that someone had removed the big stone from the front of the hole. So she ran to where Simon Peter was. He was with the other disciple, the one that Jesus loved. She said to them, ‘Somebody has taken the Lord's body out of the hole. We do not know where they have put him!’ 3So Peter and the other disciple started to go to the place where Jesus' body had been. 4Both of them were running. But the other disciple ran faster than Peter ran. So he reached the hole first.
