‏ John 20:1-2

20:1 ^a As a devoted follower of Jesus (see Matt 27:55-56 ^b; Luke 8:1-3 ^c), Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb to help complete Jesus’ burial (see John 19:42 ^d).

• Many Judean tombs were sealed with a rolling stone.
20:2 ^e Mary Magdalene ran and found Simon Peter. Her natural assumption was that someone had robbed the tomb and perhaps stolen the body—which was not an uncommon occurrence.
