SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:8
Y entonces entr tambin el otro discípulo, que había venido primero al monumento, y vio, y crey.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 20:8
Verse 8. That other disciple] John. Saw] That the body was not there.
And believed.] That it had been taken away, as Mary had said; but he did not believe that he was risen from the dead. See what follows.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. Then went in also the other disciple , etc.] John, being animated by the example of Peter, went down into the sepulchre likewise; whither Peter also might beckon, or call him, to be witness with him of the order and situation in which things lay: which came first to the sepulchre ; yet went last into it; so it was, that the first was last, and the last first: and he saw ; the linen clothes lie in one place, and the napkin folded up in order, lying by itself in another: and believed ; that the body was not there, but either was taken away, or was raised from the dead; but whether as yet he believed the latter is doubtful, by what follows; unless what follows is considered as an illustration, especially of the faith of John, that he should believe the resurrection of Christ, though till now he did not know nor understand the Scriptures that spake of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - If Christ gave his life a ransom, and had not taken it again, it woul not have appeared that his giving it was accepted as satisfaction. It was a great trial to Mary, that the body was gone. Weak believers ofte make that the matter of complaint, which is really just ground of hope and matter of joy. It is well when those more honoured than others with the privileges of disciples, are more active than others in the duty of disciples; more willing to take pains, and run hazards, in a good work We must do our best, and neither envy those who can do better, no despise those who do as well as they can, though they come behind. The disciple whom Jesus loved in a special manner, and who therefore in special manner loved Jesus, was foremost. The love of Christ will make us to abound in every duty more than any thing else. He that was behin was Peter, who had denied Christ. A sense of guilt hinders us in the service of God. As yet the disciples knew not the Scripture; the Christ must rise again from the dead.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
8. Believed. This word is explained by what follows. He believed (at length) that Jesus was risen; for up to this time (oudepw) he, with his fellow-disciple (plural, hdeisan) knew not, etc. The singular number, he believed, as Meyer profoundly remarks, "only satisfies the never-to-be-forgotten personal experience of that moment, though it does not exclude the contemporaneous faith of Peter also." On knew (hdeisan), see on ii. 24.
