Exegesis
This is qualified by the comparative adverb tachion {τάχιον | tá-khi-on} ‘faster’, and the genitive tou Petrou {τοῦ Πέτρου | toû Pé-trou} marks Peter as the one surpassed.
In context — John 20:4
The two were running together, but the other disciple ran ahead of Peter faster and came first to the tomb .
