Context of John 20:3
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. 2So 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!’ So 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. 5He bent himself down and he looked inside the hole. He saw the pieces of linen cloth that were lying there. But he did not go in.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-10The 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.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3-103-10. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came first to the sepulchre--These particulars have a singular air of artless truth about them. Mary, in her grief, runs to the two apostles who were soon to be so closely associated in proclaiming the Saviour's resurrection, and they, followed by Mary, hasten to see with their own eyes.
