John 20:6

Simon
The resurrection

4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

5 He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

7 The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.

8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
