The Christ: A Critical Review and Analysis of the Evidences of His Existence
Remsburg, John E. (John Eleazer)
Jesus Christ -- Historicity; Jesus Christ -- Rationalistic interpretations; Rationalism
Mark, Luke and John: Inside of it (Mark xvi, 5; Luke xxiv, 3, 4;
John xx, 11, 12).
409
Were they sitting or standing?
Luke: Standing (xxiv, 4).
Matthew, Mark and John: Sitting (Matt. xxviii, 2; Mark xvi, 1; John
xx, 12).
410
What were the first words they spoke to the women?
Matthew and Mark: "Be not affrighted" (Mark xvi, 6; Matt. xxviii, 5).
Luke: "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" (xxiv, 5.)
John: "Woman, why weepest thou?" (xx, 13.)
411
Did Mary Magdalene observe the divine messengers when she first came
to the tomb?
Synoptics: She did (Matt. xxviii, 1-5; Mark xvi, 1-5; Luke xxiv, 1-4).
John: She did not (xx, 1, 2, 11, 12).
412
Who became frightened at the messengers?
Matthew: "The keepers did shake, and became as dead men" (xxviii, 4).
Mark and Luke: "They [the women] were affrighted" (Mark xvi, 5;
Luke xxiv, 5).
413
What did the women do when they became frightened?
Mark: "They went out quickly and fled" (xvi, 8).
Luke: "They bowed down their faces to the earth" (xxiv, 5).
414
Did the women see Jesus?
Matthew: They did. "As they went to tell his disciples, behold,
Jesus met them" (xxviii, 9).
Luke: They did not see him (xxiv).
415
Did the women tell the disciples what they had seen?
Luke: They "returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest" (xxiv, 9).
Mark: "Neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid"
(xvi, 8).
With these words the Gospel of Mark ends, the words that follow being
an interpolation. In this appended passage Mary Magdalene is declared
to have seen Jesus and informed them of it, but they "believed not."
416
How many disciples visited the tomb?
Luke: But one, Peter (xxiv, 12).
John: Two, Peter and John (xx, 3).
417
Who looked into the sepulchre and beheld the linen clothes?
Luke: "Then arose Peter, and ran into the sepulchre; and stooping down,
he beheld the linen clothes" (xxiv, 12).
John: "So they ran both together; and the other disciple [John] did
outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down,
and looking in, saw the linen clothes" (xx, 4, 5).
418
Did Peter enter into the sepulchre?
John: He did. "Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into
the sepulchre" (xx, 6).
Luke: He did not. He looked into the sepulchre "and departed"
(xxiv, 12).
419
State all of the appearances of Jesus mentioned by the Evangelists.
Matthew.
1. To the two Marys (xxviii, 9).
2. To the eleven in Galilee (17).
Mark.
1. To Mary Magdalene (xvi, 9).
2. To two of his disciples (12).
3. To the eleven at meat (14).
The appearances of Jesus mentioned in Mark are all in the apocryphal
supplement. The Gospel of Mark proper does not record a single
appearance of Jesus.
Luke.
1. To Cleopas and his companion (xxiv, 13-31).
2. To Simon (Peter) (34).
3. To the eleven and others (36).
John.
