− | 189:5.1 As the [[two]] [[apostles]] raced for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary Golgotha] and the [[tomb]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[thoughts]] alternated between [[fear]] and [[hope]]; he feared to meet [[the Master]], but his [[hope]] was aroused by the [[story]] that [[Jesus]] had sent special [[word]] to him. He was half persuaded that [[Jesus]] was really alive; he recalled the [[promise]] to rise on the third day. [[Strange]] to relate, this [[promise]] had not occurred to him since the [[crucifixion]] until this [[moment]] as he hurried north through [[Jerusalem]]. As [[John, the Apostle|John]] hastened out of the [[city]], a strange [[ecstasy]] of [[joy]] and [[hope]] welled up in his [[soul]]. He was half convinced that the [[women]] really had seen the [[Resurrection|risen]] [[the Master|Master]]. | + | 189:5.1 As the [[two]] [[apostles]] raced for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary Golgotha] and the [[tomb]] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea Joseph], [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[thoughts]] alternated between [[fear]] and [[hope]]; he feared to meet [[the Master]], but his [[hope]] was aroused by the [[story]] that [[Jesus]] had sent special [[word]] to him.

| 189:5.2 [[John, the Apostle|John]], being younger than [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], outran him and arrived first at the [[tomb]]. [[John, the Apostle|John]] tarried at the door, viewing the [[tomb]], and it was just as [[Mary Magdalene|Mary]] had described it. Very soon [[Simon Peter]] rushed up and, entering, saw the same empty [[tomb]] with the grave cloths so peculiarly arranged. And when [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] had come out, [[John, the Apostle|John]] also went in and saw it all for himself, and then they sat down on the stone to [[ponder]] the [[meaning]] of what they had seen and heard. And while they sat there, they turned over in their [[minds]] all that had been told them about [[Jesus]], but they could not clearly [[perceive]] what had happened. | | 189:5.2 [[John, the Apostle|John]], being younger than [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], outran him and arrived first at the [[tomb]].
