objective
Outline the chronological sequence of events from the crucifixion to the resurrection as described in the four Gospels, note any two significant variations among the accounts, and discuss the theological significance of these variations.
Answer Options
A.
All four Gospels state that Jesus rose on the same day he was buried, with no women present, and that only Peter saw the empty tomb; there are no significant variations among the accounts.
Correct Answer
B.
The Gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on Friday, buried, and that on the first day of the week the tomb was found empty and He appeared to His followers. Mark stresses the women's fear, Matthew adds an angel who rolls away the stone, Luke describes two men in dazzling clothing, and John records Mary's personal encounter. These differences highlight various theological points—human fear, divine authority, witness testimony, and personal relationship—while confirming the historic reality of the resurrection.
C.
According to the Gospels, Jesus was crucified on Saturday, remained in the tomb for three days, and rose on the third day; the variations include the presence of a single angel versus a choir of angels, and the location of the empty tomb being in a garden.
D.
The Gospels agree that the stone was never moved, the women were joyful, and the resurrection was announced by angels to the disciples; the only variation is the number of disciples present.
