John 20:3-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 [a]So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. 4 They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; 5 he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. 6 (A)When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths[b] there, 7 and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.(B) 8 Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. 9 [c](C)For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples returned home.

- 20:3–10 The basic narrative is told of Peter alone in Lk 24:12, a verse missing in important manuscripts and which may be borrowed from tradition similar to John. Cf. also Lk 24:24.
- 20:6–8 Some special feature about the state of the burial cloths caused the beloved disciple to believe. Perhaps the details emphasized that the grave had not been robbed.
- 20:9 Probably a general reference to the scriptures is intended, as in Lk 24:26 and 1 Cor 15:4. Some individual Old Testament passages suggested are Ps 16:10; Hos 6:2; Jon 2:1, 2, 10.
- 20:11–18 This appearance to Mary is found only in John, but cf. Mt 28:8–10 and Mk 16:9–11.

New International Version
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(A) 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in(B) at the strips of linen(C) lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(D) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(E) also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture(F) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(G) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
