The resurrection and the various appearances

  • PER367 The Women Warn the Disciples

    Pericope 367 examines the moment when the women warn the disciples of the resurrection, comparing Matthew 28.8, Mark 16.9-11, Luke 24.9-11 and John 20.2. A notable divergence appears: Mary Magdalene seems unaware of the angels’ message, unlike the other women. The hypothesis that Mary left early, before the angelic appearance, makes it possible to harmonize the accounts and to explain her persistent incomprehension before the empty tomb.

    John 20.2 (King James Version) :
    Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

  • PER369 Mary Magdalene Remains at the Tomb

The article offers a chronological analysis and a harmonization of the Gospel accounts of the resurrection.

    John 19.25 (King James Version) :
    Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Contradictions

  • CTD052 Did the Women Receive an Explanation?

    The article analyzes the Gospel accounts of Jesus' resurrection, showing that they are complementary rather than contradictory. Mary Magdalene is thought to have left the tomb before the angelic announcement, explaining her initial ignorance of the resurrection. Placed in context, the texts reveal a coherent chronology.

    Luke 24.4 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
