Why Do the Four Gospel
Accounts Have Different Details About the Events Following Jesus Christ’s
Resurrection?
It may seem confusing when
you read the four different Gospel accounts of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. But, this article (with God’s help) hopefully should clear up that
confusion. The events mentioned in the four Gospel accounts about Christ’s resurrection
are not contradictory whatsoever because each writer had his own memory and
perspective about the events. And, each picked up on details that other writers
may have missed.
This article aims to
present what happened chronologically from the time Mary Magdalene and her lady
friends first reached the tomb of Jesus (after His resurrection) and up to the
time Jesus Christ’s eleven disciples had been informed of the miraculous
resurrection of the Lord Jesus. (Note: Judas Iscariot had killed
himself at this time.) In the paragraphs below, we will give the account
of what happened (with the help of God, for only He could discern fully how
this happened).
(1.) Mary Magdalene and some
other women (a woman named Salome and Mary the mother of James) came to
the tomb of Jesus Christ on the first day of the week, early in the
morning. (2.) They found the tomb empty of the body of Jesus.
But, they saw two angelic beings. One angel did most of the talking.
