Best Answer

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are quite clear that only thewomen, but none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus. Luke's Gospel is equally clear that only Peter went to the tomb.

In John's Gospel, the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' ran with Peter to the tomb and, arriving first, looked in and saw it empty, but did not go in until Peter arrived. The second-century Church Fathers decided, by a limited process of elimination, that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John, so on this view it was John who looked into the sepulchre.

How did Jesus get out of the cave?

In Matthew's Gospel, the women came to the tomb and watched as an angel moved the stone that blocked the entrance to the cave. The angel told them that Jesus was already gone, but did not say how he left the tomb. The other gospels say that the stone was already moved when the women arrived, so Jesus could have walked out at any time after his resurrection.
