P. 153

Time Night of the Sabbath, just before dawn

Place: the sepulchre as above

Per Luke the Women which came with Jesus from Galilee saw how the body was laid, then return to prepare spices, noting the Sabbath because of the commandment

Per Matt and Mark the two Marys are privy to Joseph’s proceedings and sitting at the sepulchre and seeing where Jesus is laid

Per John, Joseph and Nicodemus wind up the body with Lb100 of spices, on the night before the Sabbath. Yet on the night of the Sabbath or at the dawn of the next day per Mark as well as Luke came these women bringing their spices.

Matt {Earthquake Angel in white} These circumstances with the parading of the dead bodies as per his preceding Chapter, known only to Matt. Luke, Mark John knowing nothing of the matter or not thinking it worth recording. To what purpose did God set these dead men a patrolling? Only to furnish to the Evangelist a story which he concealed from the others or which they did not think worth speaking of. What became of them afterwards? Did they return like Vampires, or remain alive like Lazarus? If neither[?] any one such story, failing[?] to destroy the trustworthiness of the reporter of it.

Per Luke Matt & Mark, the woman without name was the first to enter the sepulchre and make the discovery. Per John Mary Magdalene makes it then calls Peter and the beloved Disciple. Then Mary Magd goes in and she alone see two Angels and then Jesus, but knew him not

Per Matt and Mark Galilee is the place where the Angels tell the women they shall see Jesus. Yet per Mark, as they went to tell the disciples, out […?] Jesus upon them already

N.B. except in this […?] way Galilee viz. a village Emmaus & a nameless mountain were much properer places for such appearances than any public place at Jerusalem.

Ch. 118.

The sepulchre is found empty. Discordant accounts respecting the persons by whom the discovery was made, and the circumstances that attended it: likewise as to the time of his first appearance. Bribed by the rulers, the soldiers employed by them to watch the sepulchre report that while they were asleep the body was stolen and carried off.
