8. Peter and John investigate, and report back to the others. (Lk 24:12, Lk 24:24, Jn 20:3-10) But Peter and the disciple whom Jesus loved (and possibly some others, as implied by the "some" in Lk 24:24, got up and ran to the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.

Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.

Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then they told the others what they'd found [Lk 24:24] and went back to their homes, wondering what had happened.
