John 20:9 ([[ESV]]) does not fit with the first half of the sentence, which is itself a complete sentence, that comes before it. John 20:9 even tends to dilute or contradict what precedes it:
{{cquote|<sup>8</sup> Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; <sup>9</sup> for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.}}

John 20:9 also places an emphasis on [[Scripture]] that is uncharacteristic of the [[Gospel of John]], which contains relatively few quotes of the [[Old Testament]].
