John 20:4-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. They were both running, but the other follower ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first.

5. He bent down and looked in. He saw the pieces of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in.

6. Then Simon Peter finally reached the tomb and went in. He saw the pieces of linen lying there.

7. He also saw the cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. It was folded up and laid in a different place from the pieces of linen.

8. Then the other follower went in—the one who had reached the tomb first. He saw what had happened and believed.

9. (These followers did not yet understand from the Scriptures that Jesus must rise from death.)
