Most Bible scholars believe that in the Gospel of John, whenever you
see a reference to "the disciple whom Jesus loved", John is actually
referring to himself (which in itself is a little weird).  That
being the assumption, I've noticed something a little amusing about
John's account of the empty tomb (John 20:2-8):

So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one
Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,
and we don't know where they have put him!"  So Peter and the other
disciple started for the tomb.  BOTH WERE RUNNING, BUT THE OTHER
DISCIPLE OUTRAN PETER AND REACHED THE TOMB FIRST.  He bent over and
looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 
Then Simon Peter, WHO WAS BEHIND HIM, arrived and went into the
tomb.  He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial
cloth that had been around Jesus' head.  The cloth was folded up by
itself, separate from the linen.  Finally the other disciple, WHO
HAD REACHED THE TOMB FIRST, also went inside.  He saw and believed.

John's describing the most important historical event of our
Christian faith, and he keeps bragging about being able to outrun
Peter!
