Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

Then went in also that other disciple who came first to the sepulcher, and he saw, and believed.

then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced.

Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

Then the other disciple, who had arrived first at the tomb, also entered. And he saw and believed.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.

And he saw and believed. It is a poor exposition which some give of these words, that John believed what he had heard Mary say, namely, that Christ's body had been carried away; for there is no passage in which the word believe bears this meaning, especially when it is used simply and without any addition. Nor is this inconsistent with the fact, that Peter and John return home, while they are still in doubt and perplexity; for in some passages John had employed this phraseology, when lie intended to describe the increase of faith. Besides, Luke 24:12 relates that Peter wondered at seeing the sepulcher in such good order; meaning by this, that Peter thought of something greater and loftier than what Mary had told him.

That other disciple - John.
Saw - That the body was not there.
And believed - That it had been taken away, as Mary had said; but he did not believe that he was risen from the dead. See what follows.

Then went in also the other disciple,.... John, being animated by the example of Peter, went down into the sepulchre likewise; whither Peter also might beckon, or call him, to be witness with him of the order and situation in which things lay:
which came first to the sepulchre; yet went last into it; so it was, that the first was last, and the last first:
and he saw; the linen clothes lie in one place, and the napkin folded up in order, lying by itself in another:
and believed; that the body was not there, but either was taken away, or was raised from the dead; but whether as yet he believed the latter is doubtful, by what follows; unless what follows is considered as an illustration, especially of the faith of John, that he should believe the resurrection of Christ, though till now he did not know nor understand the Scriptures that spake of it.

Then went in . . . that other disciple which came first to the sepulchre--The repetition of this, in connection with his not having gone in till after Peter, seems to show that at the moment of penning these words the advantage which each of these loving disciples had of the other was present to his mind.
and he saw and believed--Probably he means, though he does not say, that he believed in his Lord's resurrection more immediately and certainly than Peter.

He saw - That the body was not there, and believed - That they had taken it away as Mary said.
