quote:
Matthew 28:1-10 says that when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb that she was told by an angel that the Messiah had risen and would be seen in Galilee. Matthew then says that she ran "with great joy" to tell the disciples and while on the way that she met the Messiah (this occurred before she got to the disciples).
However, John 20:1 and 2 say that when she came to the tomb and didn’t find the Messiah there, that she ran to the disciples and told them that He had been taken away and that she didn’t know where He was. In Matthew she knew where He was (or at least had been) and where He would be, but in John she didn’t.
Also, Matthew has Mary encountering the Messiah before she gets to the disciples. But in John the encounter with the Messiah happens AFTER she talks to the disciples.
according to john she first went to the tomb
then ran to get peter.
then she and peter and john went to the tomb.
peter and john left and it was then that mary saw the angels and Jesus.
Then mary ran to the disciples again.
according to luke mary saw 2 'men' not angels when she first went to the tomb. Then she went to get peter
mathew skips over the part in red (mary leaving the tomb to get peter and john)
