Which disciple outran Peter to Jesus' tomb?
-----------------------The Gospels of Matthew and Mark make it clear that none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus.In Luke, Peter goes alone to the tomb and finds it empty, save for two men in shining garments. There is therefore no dispute that Peter was the first disciple to reach the tomb.In John, Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', thought by some to be the disciple John, ran together to the tomb. The unknown disciple reached the tomb first and looked in, to see the cloths where Jesus' body should have been. Peter then arrived and went inside, followed by the other disciple, whereupon they saw that the tomb was empty. Some scholars, such as Elaine Pagels, say that the author of John's Gospel sought to downplay the role of Peter throughout the gospel. John is believed to have been inspired by Luke and the author is always careful not to directly contradict his source, but adds detail that makes Peter's role less compelling than in Luke. Thus, for John, Peter does not run alone to the tomb and is beaten to the tomb by the other disciple. But, in line with Luke, Peter is the first to actually enter the tomb. Any early Christian with access to both gospels would not find in John's account anything that casts serious doubt on the veracity of the evangelists. The differences could be read as no more than an expansion on Luke's version.
Who were the first apostles to see the empty tomb?
Matthew and Mark make no mention of any of the disciples going to the empty tomb.Luke has Peter going alone to the tomb and finding it empty.John has "the disciple whom Jesus loved" going with Peter to the tomb. The disciple ran ahead and was the first to arrive, looking in to see the clothes but no body. Peter arrived next and went in first. we do not know who this disciple was intended to be, but tradition holds that it was John.
Which was not among the first visitors of Jesus' tomb?
There were several people who missed out this day of Easter, though Peter and John and Mary Magdalene were the first but many other disciples were not at all there at the tomb of Jesus.
What did John do when he arrived at the tomb of Jesus?
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.
Who was the first MAN to find Jesus' empty tomb?
The gospel of Luke says that it was Peter who went first to the tomb.

Who was the first person to the tomb on Easter morning?
In Mark's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome came together to the tomb. The young man was already there before them. The disciples did not go. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to the tomb. Presumably the guards also looked and saw the tomb to be empty. Once again, the disciples did not go. In Luke's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and other women came together to the tomb. Peter ran to the tomb to check their story. In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene came by herself to the tomb and saw the stone had been moved. Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved" then ran to the tomb to check her story. the disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first, but it was Peter who first went into the tomb.
