“Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,”
Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen wrappings lying there — Peter's characteristic directness contrasts with the beloved disciple's restraint; he enters where the other hesitated. Peter observes (theōreō) the wrappings, but John's verb choice indicates passive observation rather than active comprehension. The repetition of 'linen wrappings lying there' emphasizes the peculiar arrangement as evidence.
