Context of John 20:3

1The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4So they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5And he stooping down, saw the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in.
