The Gospels of Matthew and Mark make it clear that none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus.
In Luke, Peter goes alone to the tomb and finds it empty, save for two men in shining garments. There is therefore no dispute that Peter was the first disciple to reach the tomb.
In John, Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', thought by some to be the disciple John, ran together to the tomb. The unknown disciple reached the tomb first and looked in, to see the cloths where Jesus' body should have been. Peter then arrived and went inside, followed by the other disciple, whereupon they saw that the tomb was empty. Some scholars, such as Elaine Pagels, say that the author of John's Gospel sought to downplay the role of Peter throughout the gospel. John is believed to have been inspired by Luke and the author is always careful not to directly contradict his source, but adds detail that makes Peter's role less compelling than in Luke. Thus, for John, Peter does not run alone to the tomb and is beaten to the tomb by the other disciple. But, in line with Luke, Peter is the first to actually enter the tomb. Any early Christian with access to both gospels would not find in John's account anything that casts serious doubt on the veracity of the evangelists. The differences could be read as no more than an expansion on Luke's version.

∙ 10y agoIn Luke's Gospel, Peter ran alone to the tomb (Luke 24:12) and found that it was empty as the women had said. In this first account of Peter going to the tomb, there was no other disciple to outrun him.
John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, but for theological reasons it adds the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', saying that he outran Peter and was the first to look inside. We do not know who the beloved disciple was, but the second-century Church Fathers noticed that the fourth gospel never mentions the apostle John, who was so important in all the earlier gospels, and so decided that the disciple who outran Peter must have been John. They then decided that the failure to mention the beloved disciple's name must have been out of modesty, so perhaps the author of this gospel was himself John, son of Zebedee.

What was the name of the tomb Jesus was buried in?
Matthew 27:57-60 reads, "When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away."
Was Joseph of aramethia kin to Jesus?
There is no clear historical evidence to suggest that Joseph of Arimathea was a direct relative of Jesus. He is described in the Bible as a wealthy disciple who provided his own tomb for Jesus' burial. Some traditions suggest he may have been a distant relative, but this is not definitively proven.
Who borrowed the tomb that Jesus body laid within?
The man who offerred his tomb and took on the responsibilities of the father of the deceased is simply known to us as Joseph. The gospels say that he came from a town or locality called Arimathea, thus Joseph of Arimathea. Arimathea ought to be close enough to Jerusalem that Joseph would purchase a tomb in Jerusalem and plan for his body to be taken there after his death, but no city, town or village called Arimathea has ever been identified, and it is worth looking at other possible explanations for the name. Peter Kirby points out in the Journal of Higher Criticism that Arimathea can be read in Greek as 'best disciple town', which was a surprisingly appropriate reference for the man who took a great risk to look after Jesus, when all others had deserted him. If Arimathea was an invented name, then Joseph probably did not exist, raising questions about this part of the narrative of the death of Jesus.
Who were the 2 disciples that were sent into Jerusalem ahead of Jesus?
Luke 24:18 says that one of them was called Cleopas. There is no direct evidence as to who Luke intended the other to be, but it was probably Peter, since Peter is mentioned at verse 24:12.AnswerThe other person was Peter. Luke 24:34 says, "The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon (Peter)." and I Corinthians 15:4-5 says that "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve."
What was Mary told to do after finding tomb empty?
In Matthew's Gospel, the angel who rolled away the stone told Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen. On the way to tell the disciples, they met Jesus, who told them to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them.Mark's Gospel has a similar account. The tomb was already open when Mary Magdalene, the other Mary and Salome arrived. The young man they found inside the tomb told them to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen and to go to Galilee, where he would meet them, but they ran away and told no one.In Luke's Gospel, the two men who were in the tomb told the women what had happened. They were not told to do anything, but nevertheless they told the disciples, who did not believe them.In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark, but found the stone had been taken away. She did not know that the tomb was empty and spoke to no one, but ran and told Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved".
What did John do when he arrived at the tomb of Jesus?
The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are quite clear that only thewomen, but none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus. Luke's Gospel is equally clear that only Peter went to the tomb. In John's Gospel, the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' ran with Peter to the tomb and, arriving first, looked in and saw it empty, but did not go in until Peter arrived. The second-century Church Fathers decided, by a limited process of elimination, that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John, so on this view it was John who looked into the sepulchre.
Who were the first apostles to see the empty tomb?
Matthew and Mark make no mention of any of the disciples going to the empty tomb.Luke has Peter going alone to the tomb and finding it empty.John has "the disciple whom Jesus loved" going with Peter to the tomb. The disciple ran ahead and was the first to arrive, looking in to see the clothes but no body. Peter arrived next and went in first. we do not know who this disciple was intended to be, but tradition holds that it was John.
Why did Jesus talk privately to Peter before he appeared to the other disciples?
Jesus is a merciful and compassionate God and he loves Peter. As such, he would like peter to know what he has said to him is true....
Who was the first person to the tomb on Easter morning?
In Mark's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome came together to the tomb. The young man was already there before them. The disciples did not go. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to the tomb. Presumably the guards also looked and saw the tomb to be empty. Once again, the disciples did not go. In Luke's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and other women came together to the tomb. Peter ran to the tomb to check their story. In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene came by herself to the tomb and saw the stone had been moved. Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved" then ran to the tomb to check her story. the disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first, but it was Peter who first went into the tomb.

John and Peter

Was Mary of Magdala a disciple of Jesus?
A disciple is actually a follower who allows himself to be discipled by his teacher. Jesus had many followers, then and today, who refused to be discipled. As Mary Magdalene was one of the first people at the tomb, it seems likely that she was a disciple.
What would have happened if Peter had not gone to the tomb of Jesus?
In fact, Peter only went to the tomb of Jesus in Luke and John, which are interdependent gospels. In Matthew, Jesus told the women to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them. Peter did not go to the tomb. In the "Long Ending" to Mark, the women told the disciples that Jesus had risen, but they did not believe. None of the disciples went to the tomb.
Who went Jesus' tomb to anoint him?
A:The specific answer required appears to be Salome, as told in Mark's Gospel. The other gospels do not mention her, although her presence is possible in Luke.

They ran back to tell the disciples.Mark's Gospel Salome went to the tomb with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James.Luke's Gospel The women who came with Jesus from Galilee and certain others went to the tomb. Luke does not tell us who the women were. In this version, Peter came to the tomb after hearing from the women.John's Gospel Only Mary Magdalene went to the tomb.
