JOHN 20:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.”
Then the disciples went back to their own homes — Peter and the beloved disciple (and implicitly the other disciples) return home, still lacking full resurrection conviction despite the beloved disciple's belief. This dispersal prepares for Jesus' own appearances, which will gather them again. The narrative movement (Mary to tomb to disciples' homes) mirrors the scattering of sheep and their eventual reassembly by the shepherd (John 10).
