Quick answer
The gathered disciples announce that the Lord is truly risen and has appeared to Simon. Independent testimony confirms the resurrection.
Overview
Before the two can report, the eleven declare the Lord's resurrection and his appearance to Simon Peter. This brief notice, echoed in 1 Corinthians 15:5, underscores that the risen Christ sought out Peter despite his denial, a quiet word of restoration. Multiple converging witnesses establish that the resurrection is fact, not wishful imagination.
