Contextual Overview
1Early Sunday morning before sunrise, Mary Magdalene went to Jesus's grave and saw that the big stone had been rolled away.
2She came running back to Pete and the cowboy who Jesus loved, and said, "Jesus has been taken. We don't know where he is."
3So Pete and the other cowboy headed out toward the grave at a high lope.
4Pete was still on his way when the other cowboy stuck his head in the tomb.
5Inside he could see the grave linens, but he didn't go in.
6Pete got there at this point and barreled right by him and went in. He saw the grave linens lying there,
7as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus's head. The cloth was laying there right where Jesus's head should have been.
8Finally, the other cowboy joined Pete inside. He saw what had happened and believed.
9Until now, they hadn't understood that Jesus would come riding back from the grave.
10Then they went back to the house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he stooping down and looking in,.... That is, John; when he came to the sepulchre, stooped down to look into it, and see what he could see; he only went into the court, or stood upon the floor, where the bearers used to set down the bier, before they put the corpse into one of the graves in the sepulchre, which were four cubits lower; :-. Hence he was obliged to stoop down, ere he could see anything within: when he
saw the linen clothes lying; in which the body had been wrapped, but that itself not there:
yet went he not in; to the sepulchre itself, but waited in the court or porch, till Peter came; and perhaps might be timorous and fearful of going into such a place alone; the Arabic version reads it, "he dared not go 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 20:5. Went he not in. — Why? Because he was fully satisfied that the body was not there. But why did he not seize upon the linen clothes, and keep them as a most precious relic? Because he had too much religion and too much sense; and the time of superstition and nonsense was not yet arrived, in which bits of rotten wood, rags of rotten cloth, decayed bones (to whom originally belonging no one knows) and bramble bushes, should become objects of religious adoration.
