Note 321 — XXIII
Reading edition
This passage is an allusion to the running of the disciples to the sepulchre where Christ had been laid. “So they ran both together; and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre . . . . yet went he not in . . . . Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre.” St. John, XX, 4, 6.
