Differences In The Resurrection Accounts In The Gospels by AbuTwins: 3:09pm On May 14 |
The resurrection accounts in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) describe the events surrounding Jesus' resurrection from the dead. While the core message of Jesus' resurrection remains consistent across the Gospels, there are variations and contradictions in the details of the accounts. These differences have been a subject of scholarly discussion and debate. Below are some of the main contradictions in the resurrection accounts: 1.**Number and Identity of Women at the Tomb**: - The Gospels differ in the number and names of women who visited the tomb: - **Matthew**: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary - **Mark**: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome - **Luke**: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women - **John**: Mary Magdalene 2. **Time of the Visit to the Tomb**: - The Gospels disagree on the time that the women visited the tomb: - **Matthew**: After the Sabbath, at dawn - **Mark**: At sunrise - **Luke**: At early dawn - **John**: While it was still dark 3. **Number and Identity of Angels at the Tomb**: - The Gospels vary in the number and appearance of angels at the tomb: - **Matthew**: One angel sitting on the stone - **Mark**: One young man dressed in white - **Luke**: Two men in dazzling clothes - **John**: Two angels in white sitting where Jesus' body had been 4. **Reaction of the Women**: - The Gospels differ in how the women reacted to the discovery of the empty tomb and the angels: - **Matthew**: They left with fear and joy - **Mark**: They fled and said nothing to anyone - **Luke**: They told the apostles and others, but their words seemed like nonsense - **John**: Mary Magdalene ran to tell Peter and the beloved disciple 5. **Post-Resurrection Appearances**: - The Gospels present varying accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances: - **Matthew**: Jesus appeared to the women, the eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee, and to the eleven disciples in Jerusalem. - **Mark**: The appearances are less detailed and end with the women fleeing from the tomb. - **Luke**: Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, to the eleven disciples in Jerusalem, and on a mountain in Bethany. - **John**: Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, to the disciples without Thomas, and then to the disciples with Thomas present. 6. **Location of the Ascension**: - The Gospels differ on the location of Jesus' ascension into heaven: - **Mark**: The ascension is not described. - **Luke**: The ascension occurs in Bethany on the day of Jesus' resurrection. - **Matthew**: The ascension is not mentioned in Matthew's Gospel. - **John**: The ascension is not described. ![]() 1 Like |

Aemmyjah: Why do you Christians and Jehovah witness cult always think you can divert a threat so clean like this? If you want an answer why not create your own thread? Next time I'll just report you! I dislike when educated people behave like illiterates. 1 Like |

AbuTwins: This is why you are not qualified to criticize the Bible. I once asked you and asking you again and now: give Ames ayat that asked you aid any Muslim to criticize the Bible. |

Re: Differences In The Resurrection Accounts In The Gospels by MightySparrow: 12:19am On May 16 |
AbuTwins: You are going beyond what Allah commanded you in the Quran. I am the one to teach you Bible. Even your prophet had discussion with the Jews about what he didn't know. Who are you to criticize what even your prophet didn't know or criticize? |
Re: Differences In The Resurrection Accounts In The Gospels by AbuTwins: 12:21am On May 16 |
MightySparrow: So tell me what was the discussion about? |
Re: Differences In The Resurrection Accounts In The Gospels by MightySparrow: 12:25am On May 16 |
