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.

    Mark 16.13-14 (King James Version) :
    And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

  • PER369 Mary Magdalene Remains at the Tomb

    An episode unique to John (John 20.11), this passage describes Mary Magdalene remaining alone at the tomb after Peter and John have left. A faithful witness since the ministry of Jesus, she first interprets the disappearance of the body as a removal, before becoming the first person to whom the Risen One appears personally. The article offers a chronological analysis and a harmonization of the Gospel accounts of the resurrection.

    Matthew 28.2-4 (King James Version) :
    And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

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 24.23 (King James Version) :
    And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
