Then she runneth, and cometh to

them, They have taken away the
Lord out of the sepulchre, and we
know not where they have laid him.
Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre
SO they ran both together: and the
other disciple did outr,in Peter, and
came first to the sepulchre.
