Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, [whom Jesus
loved,] and came to the sepulcher, ... and went into the sepulcher,
and seeth the linen clothes.... Then the disciples went away again. But
Mary stood without at the sepulcher, weeping; and as she wept she
stooped down and looked into the sepulcher, and seeth two angels in
white. (John 20 : 3, 6, 10-12.)
The Angels Appeared Before Peter Alone Visited the Sepulcher.
Behold, two men stood by them [the women] in shining garments.... And
they ... returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things
unto the eleven.... Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulcher,
and stooping down he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,
and departed wondering. (Luke 24 : 4, 8, 9.)
Jesus Appeared First to Mary Magdalene Only.
Now, when Jesus was risen early, the first day of the week, he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene. (Mark 16 : 9.)
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. (John 20 : 14.)
Jesus Appeared First to the Two Marys.
And as they [Mary Magdalene and the other Mary] went to tell his
disciples, behold Jesus met them, saying, All hail. (Mat. 28 : 9.)
He Appeared to Neither of the Marys.
(See Luke 24 : 1-11.)
Jesus was to be Three Days and Three Nights in the Grave.
So shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart
of the earth. (Mat. 12 : 40.)
He was but Two Days and Two Nights in the Grave.
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.... It was
the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath.... And
Pilate ... gave the body to Joseph. And he ... laid him in a
sepulcher.... Now, when Jesus was risen early the first day of the
week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. (Mark 15 : 25, 42, 44,
45, 46; and 16 : 9.)
The Holy Ghost Was Bestowed at Pentecost.
But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you.... Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days
hence. (Acts 1 : 8, 5.)
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all of one
accord in one place.... And they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost. (Acts 2 : 1, 4.)
The Holy Ghost was Bestowed Before Pentecost.
And when he said this he breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost. (John 20 : 22.)

But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power
