THE ACCOUNT OF RESURRECTION IN MATTHEW (MATTHEW 28: 1-8)
The resurrection story of Jesus Christ in St. Matthew’s gospel holds that early in the morning , on the first day of the week (Sunday), Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James went to the tomb. There was a great earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. The appearance of the angel was lightning and his raiment as white as snow. This created great fear in the guards.
The Angel said to the women ‘Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He has risen as He said.’ The Angel further invited the women to come and see where He was laid. The Angel finally directed the women to go quickly and tell His disciples that Jesus had risen from the dead , and to further inform them that Jesus was going before them to Galilee where they would see Him.
MARK’S ACCOUNT OF THE RESURRECTION (MARK 16: 1-8)
After the Sabbath following the day Jesus was crucified, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome brought spices in order that they might anoint Jesus in tomb. They went to the tomb during the sunset, on Sunday morning, the first day of the week. They wondered who would help them roll away the stone covering the tomb of Jesus. On arrival, they found that the large stone had been rolled away.
On getting to the tomb, the women were amazed to see a young man dressed in a white cloth, s itting on the right side of the tomb. He told them that Jesus was not there but risen. The Angel also showed them where Jesus was laid and directed them to go and inform His disciples and Peter that they would see Jesus in Galilee, as He had earlier told them.
