<p>20:8 <em>Then the other disciple also entered, he who had arrived first to the tomb; and he saw and believed</em>- To see and believe is another challenge which comes out of the text to readers and hearers, to do just the same. To see with the eyes of faith, and believe. But John is credited with believing, when he did not yet understand the Biblical basis for the Lord's resurrection (:9), and his immediate return to his own home (:10) is presented as an action of unbelief when we compare this with 16:31,32, remembering that John rarely repeats phrases in his record unless he intends us to connect them: &quot;Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? Behold, the hour comes, yes, has come, when you shall be scattered, every man to his own home&quot;. So John may be saying that his faith was weak, it was momentary. And that would explain the odd phrase used in the Greek; for &quot;believed&quot; has no object as Greek grammar would require. It is not implied <em>what</em> he believed in; although that nuance cannot really come through in English translation.</p>
