A:The one person who all the gospels agree saw the empty tomb was Mary Magdalene. John's Gospel, alone of the four New Testament gospels, says that Peter and an unnamed disciple, traditionally thought to be John, went to the empty tomb. Otherwise, none of the disciples went to the sepulchre of Jesus.

Mark's Gospel describes a young man who was sitting in the tomb when the women arrived. He told them that Jesus was risen, and they fled in terror, telling no one. Since Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, originally ended at this point (Mark 16:8), many have queried how he could possibly have known what was seen and said when the women visited the tomb. The solution put forward was that the young man must have been Mark himself. This explanation runs into some difficulties, especially as Mark's Gospel was not written until approximately 70 CE, at a time when few commoners lived beyond their fifties.

What is empty tomb called?

The empty tomb is often referred to as the "tomb of Jesus" or simply "the tomb."

Which book in the bible includes an eyewitness account of Jesus betrayal?

Matthew and John (as two of Jesus' twelve disciples) were with Him when He was betrayed, making their gospels eyewitness accounts. (Matthew 26, John 18)Mark, though not one of the twelve, may also have been an eyewitness to the event. His gospel is the only one that makes mention of "a certain young man," in Mark 14:51, 52.Since Mark alone records this occurrence, some surmise that the young man was Mark himself. If so, he too would have been an eyewitness.
