Contextual Overview
1And on the first [day] of the weeks, Mary the Magdalene comes early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she sees the stone having been taken away out of the tomb; 2she runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus was cherishing, and says to them, "They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid Him." 3Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb, 4and the two were running together, and the other disciple ran forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb, 5and having stooped down, sees the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he did not enter. 6Simon Peter, therefore, comes, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholds the linen clothes lying [there], 7and the napkin that was on His head not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; 8then, therefore, the other disciple who came first to the tomb entered also, and he saw and believed; 9for they did not yet know the Writing, that it was necessary for Him to rise again out of the dead.10The disciples therefore went away again to their own friends,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For as yet they knew not the Scripture,.... Meaning not some particular passage of Scripture, but the writings of the Old Testament in general, and the various places in it, which spoke of the resurrection of Christ, either in a way of type, or prophecy; such as Genesis 22:3 and though our Lord had often referred to some of them, at least as in Matthew 12:40 yet such was the dulness of the disciples, or such their prejudices in favour of the Messiah being to continue, and set up a temporal kingdom, that even John, who leaned on his breast, and Peter, who was so inquisitive and desirous of knowing our Lord's meaning in everything, did not understand the sense of his words, nor of those places of Scripture he had reference to:
that he must rise again from the dead: so it was determined, thus it was predicted, and the justification and salvation of God's elect required it; and yet they knew not the thing, nor the necessity and importance of it.
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 20:9. They knew not the scripture — Viz. Psalms 16:9-10: Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell - כי לא תעזב נפשי לשאול ki lo taazob naphshi l'sheol - For thou wilt not abandon my life to the grave, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. It was certainly a reproach to the disciples that they had not understood this prophecy, when our Lord had given them often the most direct information concerning it. Christ had referred to the history of Jonah, Matthew 12:40, which was at once the type and the proof of his own resurrection. However, this ingenuous confession of John, in a matter so dishonourable to himself, is a full proof of his sincerity, and of the truth of his narration.
