1 | Mat 28 Great earth quake? 2 witness Only | Matt 28:2 | eastchicago66 | 193816 | ||
According to Matthew 28 1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2And, 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. It states that there was a great earth quake but the rest of the 4 books accounts do not mention a great earth quake. Were they the only two who felt this great earth quake? |

Greetings Eastchicago66! There are a couple of issues that arise from your question. 1) Must all of the gospels record an incident? The answer of course is, 'No'. Each gospel is an independent witness of historical events. As with any historical writer, the gospel writers are free to include or exclude details depending upon their purpose. 2) Were there more than two witnesses? Simply put, we don't know. The text doesn't even specifically state that the two Mary's actually witnessed the earthquake. 3) Finally, the word 'seismos' could refer to something other than an earthquake. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Eastchicago66,I too think its probably just the writters that in telling the story ,some thought it not important enough to include .The important part was Jesus was not there . What about the earthquake that cause the saint to come up out of the ground ?? That always interested me .It doesnt give too much detail about this ..Were they resurected ? Were they really dead and burried ,or had just " gone underground " hmmm . |
