Exegesis
Focus then narrows to the singular subject ho allos mathetes {ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς | ho ál-los ma-thē-tēs} ‘the other disciple’, whose distinct role is highlighted by the aorist verb proedramen {προέδραμεν | pro-é-dra-men} ‘ran ahead’, a punctiliar action contrasting with the imperfect.
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 .
