“Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.”
Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb — both disciples race toward the tomb in response to Mary's report. The narrative pace quickens with this movement; John uses the simple verb 'went' (erchomai) to show obedience to testimony without yet understanding its meaning. Peter's prominence here (named first) is complexified by the beloved disciple's superior access to belief.
