Analysis
Script error: No such module "Bibleverse". describes this same scene but adds that on the trip home, Peter was "wondering what had happened". John does not make clear what is in the minds of the disciples, and some read John 20:8 as meaning that one or more of the pair had been convinced of the resurrection.
According to Raymond E. Brown, most scholars believe the home that the disciples depart for is not their actual home in Galilee, but rather where they had been staying in Jerusalem.[4] Luke seemingly indicates that some of the disciples were traveling home after the crucifixion and it is not impossible that Peter and the Beloved Disciple were embarking on the long journey.
As it is indicated in John 20:2 that Peter and the Beloved Disciple were found separately by Mary Magdalene,Template:Efn it is also often assumed that Peter and the other disciple returned to separate areas. They will be together again that evening when Jesus appears to the ten disciples in John 20:19.[4] Template:Ill notes that the departure of the two disciples allows Mary to meet Jesus alone (verses 11–18).Template:Sfn
