Gospel for December 27th

Gospel
Jn 20:1a and 2-8

On the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we do not know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.

Comments:
John is recalling the events of the day of resurrection. This happened on Sunday the first day of the week. The old has passed away behold all things have become new. John refers to himself as "the disciple who Jesus loved". John recalls how Mary Magdalene runs to tell them "they have taken the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him".

All four gospels mention that Mary Magdalene and the other Women ran to tell the others. John mentions that he ran faster than Peter. He made it to the tomb first but out of respect to Peter he doesn't go in to the tomb until Peter has entered. He saw the cloths but didn't go in.
