Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 20:3-4

"Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;" — John 20:3-4 (ASV)

They wanted to know what had really happened, so they resolved that they would go and see. The woman's message surprised them, and troubled them: So they ran both together. A good many people seemed to be running that morning. Had the disciples known the whole truth, they might have taken to dancing for joy, but their fears quickened their footsteps.
