63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ MATTHEW 27

destroy this temple and I will raise it the sign of Jonah From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day (Matthew 16:21).

64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day.

64 Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead.

65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered 65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

The Resurrection

You’re going to think I’m a heretic, but in the Gospels the resurrection is a bit of a non-event, it’s a bit of an anti-climax

Mathew after ch27 and before ch28 Mark after ch15 and before ch16 Luke after ch23 and before 24 John after ch19 and before 20

2 “There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

Acts 2:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 But God raised him from the dead, [ ] because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.

THE APOSTLES CREED born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

Luke 23:46 New International Version (NIV) 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[a] When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Luke 23:43 New International Version (NIV) 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

THE APOSTLES CREED born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
