Matthew and Mark make no mention of any of the disciples going to the empty tomb.

Luke has Peter going alone to the tomb and finding it empty.

John has "the disciple whom Jesus loved" going with Peter to the tomb. The disciple ran ahead and was the first to arrive, looking in to see the clothes but no body. Peter arrived next and went in first. we do not know who this disciple was intended to be, but tradition holds that it was John.

A:

Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, and there is no suggestion in this gospel or in Matthew's Gospel that any of the apostles ever saw the empty tomb.

In Luke's Gospel, Peter ran alone to the tomb, bent down and looked inside, and saw that it was empty.

The account in John's Gospel is loosely based on that in Luke's Gospel but adds the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. Peter and the beloved disciple ran together to the tomb and the beloved disciple, arriving first, bent down and looked inside to see that it was empty. Although not the first to see the empty tomb of Jesus, Peter was the first to go inside. The author of John's Gospel never identifies the beloved disciple, but he is traditionally thought to have been John.

Who was first to see the resurrected Jesus?

Another answer from our community:According to the gospels, the first non-divine person to see the resurrected Jesus was Mary Magdalene. (In Matthew's gospel, another woman named Mary (not Jesus's mother) is with Mary Magdalene.)


Was Mary Magdalene the first one to see that Jesus was not in the tomb?

History of the Bible will show that a few women who stand in the shadow of the men with whom they are linked, and have proven to be very significant in most stages of their experiences. So it is my belief that these two women were his confidants.


Was James the first to see Jesus when He rose?

According to the various biblical accounts, James was not the first to see the risen Jesus.According to Paul, Cephas was the first to see the risen Jesus, then the twelve, then more than 500 others, and only then did James and all the apostles see him.Mark's Gospel, in its original form, does not say that he appeared to anyone. The women simply saw an empty tomb, where a young man told them that Jesus had risen. There were no appearances by the resurrected Jesus, but verses 16:9-20 (the 'Long Ending') were added by a later author, with Mary Magdalene being mentioned as the first he appeared to. Verse 16:12 goes on to say that he "appeared to two of them, as they walked". This interpolation harmonises well, as it can be read that Jesus appeared to either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel says the women who had gone to the tomb (Mary Magdalene and the 'other Mary') saw Jesus while on the way to tell the disciples of their experience.In Luke's Gospel, two men, Cleopas and (presumably) Peter, were the first to see Jesus, on the road near Jerusalem.In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus.

Which disciple outran Peter to Jesus' tomb?

-----------------------The Gospels of Matthew and Mark make it clear that none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus.In Luke, Peter goes alone to the tomb and finds it empty, save for two men in shining garments. There is therefore no dispute that Peter was the first disciple to reach the tomb.In John, Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', thought by some to be the disciple John, ran together to the tomb. The unknown disciple reached the tomb first and looked in, to see the cloths where Jesus' body should have been. Peter then arrived and went inside, followed by the other disciple, whereupon they saw that the tomb was empty. Some scholars, such as Elaine Pagels, say that the author of John's Gospel sought to downplay the role of Peter throughout the gospel. John is believed to have been inspired by Luke and the author is always careful not to directly contradict his source, but adds detail that makes Peter's role less compelling than in Luke. Thus, for John, Peter does not run alone to the tomb and is beaten to the tomb by the other disciple. But, in line with Luke, Peter is the first to actually enter the tomb. Any early Christian with access to both gospels would not find in John's account anything that casts serious doubt on the veracity of the evangelists. The differences could be read as no more than an expansion on Luke's version.
