| | Empty tomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the Gospels, the empty tomb is the first sign of the Resurrection of Jesus. | | | However, early pilgrims to Jesus' tomb report that his body was placed in a trough in the tomb, and so Bruce argues that the angels, as supernatural beings, were sitting on thin air. | | | The existence of an "empty tomb" is not necessarily a proof of Jesus's resurrection, and many people who don't even believe that Jesus ever existed would be able to agree that Jesus' body was not found in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. |

| | "Was the Tomb Really Empty?" by Robert H Stein |
| | A fourth argument for the resurrection is the witness of the empty tomb. | | | The empty tomb tradition, however, is dated on the first day of the week, and the practice of the early Church in worshipping on Sunday (cf. | | | Furthermore, if the tomb was not empty, it would rule out the Christian claim that Jesus rose from the dead, for if someone in Jerusalem could have produced the body of Jesus, no manner of witness to the resurrection of Jesus would have been convincing. |

| | The Historicity of the Empty Tomb of Jesus |
| | Finally as to the absence of the empty tomb in the kerygma, the statement 'he was buried' followed by the proclamation of the resurrection indicates that the empty tomb was implied in the kerygma. | | | But the gospel of Mark shows that the empty tomb was important to the early church, even if it was not appealed to as evidence in evangelistic preaching. | | | The visit of the disciples to the empty tomb is therefore attested not only in tradition but by this disciple. |

| | Empty Tomb |
| | The fact that women, whose testimony was worthless, rather than men, are the chief witnesses to the empty tomb is most plausibly accounted for by the fact that, like it or not, they were the discoverers of the empty tomb and the gospels accurately record this. | | | Unfortunately for those who wish to deny the empty tomb, however, the burial story is one of the most historically certain traditions we have concerning Jesus. | | | For the Jews it was the remains of the man in the tomb which were raised; hence, they carefully preserved the bones of the dead in ossuaries until the eschatological resurrection. |

| | Jesus tomb' was not venerated as a shrine | | | Here Lowder leads in by stating, “If there is no reason to believe Jesus' followers knew where the body was buried, there is also no reason to believe the disciples visited the (final) burial place.” However, according to the accounts, the disciples did know where Jesus’ body was buried. | | | also tries to cast doubt on whether the disciples actually entered the empty tomb, since he provides evidence that this was illegal. |

| | The Pause - St. John and the Empty Tomb |
| | Entering the tomb and finding it empty would mean that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, and that his promises—all of his promises | | | And if John had entered the tomb and found the body of Jesus, that would mean he would have to accept the finality of the victory of the Sanhedrin and the Romans. | | | Or, like St. John fearing the consequences of an empty tomb, other times we hesitate to embrace the reality of the resurrected Lord because we know it means giving control of our lives to Christ. |

| | Case for Christ - 12 |
| | Having proved to his own satisfaction that Jesus actually died on the cross and was buried in a tomb, and that the tomb was found empty three days later, Strobel must confront the implication that a miracle must have occurred. | | | None of Jesus' followers, male or female, expected the tomb to be empty. | | | Strobel then asks about the numerous discrepancies in the gospel accounts of the discovery of the empty tomb - the number of women, their names, when they arrived, what they saw upon arrival, and what they did immediately afterward. |

| | Craig's Empty Tomb and Habermas on Visions |
| | There is another reason to doubt the tomb burial: the tomb blocking stone is treated as round in the Gospels, but that would not have been the case in the time of Jesus, yet it was often the case after 70 C.E., just when the gospels were being written. | | | Since there would in fact be a rhetorical reason to invent the story of the empty tomb after Christian beliefs changed to a physical concept of resurrection, we have here a reason to doubt the empty tomb story. | | | Regardless of what we conclude about the tomb burial, I doubt the empty tomb was an early Christian belief. |

| | In Luke, the women do not meet Jesus and their story of an empty tomb is met with skepticism by the disciples. | | | As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. | | | The Gospel of the Hebrews "also presupposes that the tomb was guarded by the high priest's personnel rather than by Roman soldiers." |

| | What she saw and heard was such that she got frightened and, followed by the chorus, she ran away from the tomb toward the center of the stage in a state of panic. | | | When Mary went close to the tomb she was still weeping because she had not interpreted the opening of the tomb as a sign of resurrection. | | | It is clear that Mary could not have mistaken the figure near the tomb for a farmer: She was addressing what she thought was the divine spirit of the grove. |

| | Note that both Jesus and Asa are laid in tombs hewn from rock. | | | Either way, a resurrection before the third day might not be a true resurrection, but a mere revival, or the ghost of a not-yet-departed soul, but a resurrection on the third day is true evidence that death was in either sense defeated. | | | Ludemann (2001, p114) notes: "It is doubtful whether a complete story about the tomb existed before Mark, as the text is overlaid with Markan redaction." Similarly, Kirby (2002) and Crossan (1998) argue that the empty Tomb story is a post-easter fiction. |
