Study note
Setting — Mary Magdalene runs to Simon Peter and the disciple Jesus loved to report that the Lord has been taken out of the tomb and its location is unknown.
The words — The text uses τρέχει (trechei), meaning "she runs," to describe her urgent movement toward Peter and the other disciple.
The thread — This phrasing echoes John 13:23 and John 19:26, which both identify the "other disciple" as the one Jesus loved.
Why it lands — The account demands a direct response to the reported absence of Jesus, moving from shock to immediate action.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Greek words
