Contradictions In Gospel Accounts Of Jesus' Tomb by AntiChristian: 12:39pm On Aug 07, 2020 |
By Austin Cline Jesus’ burial is important because, without it, there can be no tomb from which Jesus can arise in three days. It’s also historically implausible: crucifixion was intended as a shameful, horrible execution which included allowing the bodies to remain nailed up until they rotted off. It’s inconceivable that Pilate would have agreed to turn the body over to anyone for any reason. This may have something to do with why the gospel authors all have different stories about it. How Long Was Jesus in the Tomb? Jesus is portrayed as being dead and in the tomb for a given length time, but how long? Mark 10:34—Jesus says he will “rise again” after “three days.” Matthew 12:40—Jesus says he will be in the earth “three days and three nights...” No resurrection narrative describes Jesus as being in a tomb for three full days, or for three days and three nights. Guarding the Tomb Would the Romans have guarded Jesus’ tomb? The gospels disagree on what happened. Matthew 27:62-66—A guard is stationed outside the tomb the day after Jesus’ burial Mark, Luke, John—No guard is mentioned. In Mark and Luke, the women who approach the tomb do not appear to expect to see any guards Jesus Is Anointed Before Burial It was tradition to anoint a person’s body after they died. Who anointed Jesus and when? Mark 16:1-3, Luke 23:55-56—A group of women who were at Jesus’ burial come back later to anoint his body Matthew—Joseph wraps the body, and the women come the next morning, but no mention is made of anointing Jesus John 19:39-40—Joseph of Arimathea anoints Jesus’ body before burial Who Visited Jesus’ Tomb? The women visiting Jesus’ tomb is central to the resurrection story, but who visited? Mark 16:1—Three women visit Jesus’ tomb: Mary Magdalene, a second Mary, and Salome Matthew 28:1—Two women visit Jesus’ tomb: Mary Magdalene and another Mary Luke 24:10—At least five women visit Jesus’ tomb: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna, and “other women.” John 20:1—One woman visits Jesus’ tomb: Mary Magdalene. She later fetches Peter and another disciple When Did the Women Visit the Tomb? Whoever visited and however many there were, it’s also not clear when they arrived. Mark 16:2—They arrive after sunrise Matthew 28:1—They arrive at about dawn Luke 24:1—It is early dawn when they arrive John 20:1— It is dark when they arrive What Was the Tomb Like? It’s not clear what the women saw when they arrived at the tomb. Mark 16:4, Luke 24:2, John 20:1—The stone in front of Jesus’ tomb had been rolled away Matthew 28:1-2—The stone in front of Jesus’ tomb was still in place and would be rolled away later Who Greets the Women? The women aren’t alone for long, but it’s not clear who greets them. Mark 16:5—The women enter the tomb and meet one young man in there Matthew 28:2—An angel arrives during an earthquake and rolls the stone away, and sits on it outside. Pilate’s guards are also there Luke 24:2-4—The women enter the tomb, and two men suddenly appear — it’s not clear if they are inside or outside John 20:12—The women do not enter the tomb, but there are two angels sitting inside What Do the Women Do? Whatever happened, it must have been pretty amazing. The gospels are inconsistent in how the women react, though. Mark 16:8—The women keep quiet, despite being told to spread the word Matthew 28:8—The women go tell the disciples Luke 24:9—The women tell “the eleven and to all the rest.” John 20:10-11— Mary stays to cry while the two disciples just go home https://www.learnreligions.com/contradictions-in-gospel-accounts-of-jesus-tomb-250141 CodeTemplar, Sagenaija, This should strictly be biblical. 1 Like

Dtruthspeaker: That analogy aint applicable here! When Did the Women Visit the Tomb? Whoever visited and however many there were, it’s also not clear when they arrived.

Antichristian still on the matter. Does Allah speak directly with people? No: It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, Quran 42:51 Yes, to Moses: "Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others We have not;- and to Moses Allah spoke direct" Quran 4:164 How long is Allah's day? One thousand years: "Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His Promise. Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning." Quran 22:47 Fifty thousand years: "The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:" Quran 70:4 |

I think your name is should be Mr Contradictions instead. You have to realise that the Holy Spirit inspired them to write the books; it wasn't dictated word for word. Some of the gospels were not even written by the original witnesses, directly. So it is possible to see different perspective but the same essence or background. You are just wrestling with what is beyond you. Calm down! 1 Like |
