Who wrote the information in the Bible on the resurrection of Jesus?

Answer 1

A:Information on Jesus' resurrection is found in the four New Testament gospels, so the most obvious answer is that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote this material. However, the gospels were actually anonymous and remained so until the second century, when the Church Fathers attributed the gospels to the men whose names they now bear. New Testament scholars say there is no good reason to accept those attributions, so the most we can say is that the information on Jesus' resurrection was written by the four gospel authors, whoever they were.

However, Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In this gospel, there was originally no information on the resurrection of Jesus, other than a young man asserting this to have occurred. The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) was added much later, to provide the necessary information. Once again, we do not know who wrote the information about Jesus' resurrection in the Long Ending, but the author was clearly attempting to harmonise with the other three New Testament gospels, particularly Luke.
