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".


Who told the disciples that Jesus had risen?

The women who went to the tomb early in the morning on the third day after Jesus' crucifixion were the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus. They were told by an angel at the tomb that Jesus had risen from the dead and instructed to inform the disciples.


What two women ran from Jesus' empty tomb to tell the disciples what happened?

A:Mark's Gospel, the first New Testament gospel to be written, says that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were told by a young man inside the tomb, that Jesus was risen, and ran from the tomb in terror, telling no one (Mark 16:8). This was the original ending of this gospel. Matthew's Gospel says that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were told by an angel who came down from heaven, that Jesus was risen, and ran to tell the disciples. This closely approximates the expectations for just two women to run and tell the disciples.Luke's Gospel says that Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and other women were told by two men inside the tomb, that Jesus was risen. They went and told the disciples.In John's Gospel, only Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, but returned to tell the others as soon as she saw the stone had been moved. It was not until the beloved disciple and Peter arrived, that they knew the tomb was empty.The discrepancies in the gospel accounts prompted Archbishop Peter Carnley to write, "The presence of discrepancies might be a sign of historicity if we had four clearly independent but slightly different versions of the story, if only for the reason that four witnesses are better than one. But, of course, it is now impossible to argue that what we have in the four gospel accounts of the empty tomb are four contemporaneous but independent accounts of the one event. Modern redactional studies of the traditions account for the discrepancies as literary developments at the hand of later redactors of what was originally one report of the empty tomb... There is no suggestion that the tomb was discovered by different witnesses on four different occasions, so it is in fact impossible to argue that the discrepancies were introduced by different witnesses of the one event; rather, they can be explained as four different redactions for apologetic and kerygmatic reasons of a single story originating from one source."


Was any of the disciples a lawyer that Jesus chose?

Was the brother of John one of the first disciples of Jesus?

Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.
