Who did Jesus appear to first? Why?

Who did Jesus appear to first? Why?

John 20: 1-8:

1: Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2: So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
3: Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
4: They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;
5: and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6: Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,
7: and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.
8: Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

Well, well, Reggie. John reaches the tomb first but waits until Peter enters. Guess he was winded right? I doubt it! He wrote the "theological Gospel." He had years to ponder all of Christ's actions and He begins His Gospel on a discourse on the Trinity!

John, the beloved disciple, deferred to the one with authority given to him by Jesus Himself--Cephas or Peter.
