Bible Question (short): How do these accounts reconcile? |
Question (full): This is a repost because I am looking for a complete answer , I received one partial answer, thank you, you know who you are. I am also reposting this because I received complaints that my posts were not concise and would like to comply and again receive a complete answer, if there is one. There is no bottom line to this question it is not simple. 1)On context; The gospels have conflicting accounts of events at the tomb of Jesus on the resurrection day. 2)On context; Angels, Mathew has one angel on a sitting on a stone outside the tomb, Mark has one angel sitting to the right in the tomb, Luke and John have two angels inside the tomb. 3)On context; Mary sees Jesus first at the tomb and then goes and tells the disciples immediately in John, Mary sees Jesus first after leaving the tomb in Mark, The disciples see Jesus first at the place where they were away from the tomb in Mathew, the two on the road to Emmaus are the first to see Jesus in Luke. 4)On context; Mary goes alone in John, Mary goes with the other Mary in Mathew, Mary goes with three women in Mark, Mary goes with a group of women more than three in Luke. 5)Question; can you reconcile all four gospel accounts if you can please? |
