- John 20:2 tn Grk “So she ran and came.”
- John 20:3 tn Grk “went out and were coming to the tomb.”
- John 20:4 sn The other disciple (the ‘beloved disciple’) ran on ahead more quickly than Peter, so he arrived at the tomb first. This verse has been a chief factor in depictions of John as a young man (especially combined with traditions that he wrote last of all the gospel authors and lived into the reign of Domitian). But the verse does not actually say anything about John’s age, nor is age always directly correlated with running speed.
- John 20:4 tn Grk “and came first to the tomb.”
