Commentary on John 20:6
"Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie."

This verse describes Simon Peter’s arrival at the tomb, following John, and his immediate decision to enter. Peter’s boldness contrasts with John’s hesitation, illustrating the distinct ways individuals approach sacred moments. His direct entry into the tomb reflects his impetuous nature and leadership among the disciples.
Peter’s observation of the linen clothes lying in the tomb is significant. Unlike the scene of a grave robbery, where chaos might be expected, the orderly arrangement of the burial linens testifies to the supernatural nature of the resurrection. This detail affirms that Jesus’ body was not stolen but had risen, leaving behind the grave clothes as evidence.
Peter’s entry also emphasizes his role as a witness to the resurrection. His willingness to investigate mirrors the active pursuit of understanding God’s work. This moment marks the beginning of the disciples’ transition from confusion to belief in the risen Christ, laying the foundation for their testimony to the world.
