Contextual Overview

1 Now on the first day of the week, Miryam from Magdala went early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. 2 She ran therefore, and came to Shim`on Kefa, and to the other talmid whom Yeshua loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!" 3 Kefa therefore went forth, and the other talmid, and they went toward the tomb. 4 They both ran together. The other talmid outran Kefa, and came to the tomb first. 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in. 6 Then Shim`on Kefa came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, 7 and the cloth that was on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other talmid also entered in therefore, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. 9 For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 So the talmidim went away again to their own homes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then cometh Simon Peter following him,.... In a very little time after him:

and went into the sepulchre; itself, though not without first stooping down, as John did; see Luke 24:12.

And seeth the linen clothes lie; as John did; and as by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything is confirmed, so was this; both saw the linen in which the body was wrapped, but that was gone; and which was a sign that the body was not stolen away, otherwise the linen would not have been left; and besides, it would have taken up some time, and given a good deal of trouble, to have unwrapped the body, when it is considered how many foldings the Jews used to wind up their corpse in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matthew 28:0.

John 20:9

The scripture - See Luke 24:26, Luke 24:46. The sense or meaning of the various predictions that foretold his death, as, for example, Psalms 2:7, compare Acts 13:33; Psalms 16:9-10, compare Acts 2:25-32; Psalms 110:1, compare Acts 2:34-35.

For an account of the resurrection of Christ, see the notes at Matthew 28:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 20:6. Seeth the linen clothes lie — θεωπει: from θεαομαι, to behold, and οραω, to see - to look steadily at any thing, so as to discover what it is, and to be satisfied with viewing it.
