John 20:9

"So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the immediate but incomplete faith of John, the beloved disciple. His initial entry into the tomb and what he saw there caused him to believe, yet it was not a full realization of the resurrection until later encounters with Jesus.
