“Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.”
So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him' — Mary's running (Greek: trekhō) conveys both urgency and the physical energy of resurrection encounter. She names the beloved disciple alongside Peter, establishing a dual witness structure central to John's theology. Her statement assumes theft rather than resurrection, revealing that the disciples have not yet grasped the post-resurrection event.
