Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
Then the other disciple who got to the tomb first went inside too, and when he saw everything, he believed.

📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, this verse occurs right after Jesus' crucifixion and burial, when Mary Magdalene reported the empty tomb to Peter and the other disciple, traditionally believed to be John. The two disciples raced to the tomb, with the other disciple arriving first and peering in, but it was upon entering and seeing the burial cloths that he grasped the reality of the resurrection. This event is set against the backdrop of first-century Jewish expectations of a Messiah and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the resurrection.
