His Resurrection
(by Bob Pulliam)
A Harmony of the Ressurection Accounts
(assembled by Bob Pulliam)
It is important that you keep these points in mind:
1) The accounts do not necessarily give an exact chronological order. Events can be grouped by an author.
2) People do not always move about as a "herd". They often part company under certain circumstances.A good example of this can be seen in the women who visit the tomb. If you make them stay together throughout the narrative, you create insurmountable difficulties. If you allow Mary Magdalene to alone run back in panic, and report their findings, you answer many problems that the skeptic creates.

1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

1 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
9 Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.

1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
13 Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.
41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?"

1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
