Gospels:

1. Matthew: the writer of this gospel account was the Levite, Matthew, the ex tax-collector.

3. Luke: a Greek who was a travelling companion of Paul. As he explains at the start of his account, his motivation is to provide a careful, accurate, historical record for the non-Jewish reader.
4. John: authored by the apostle John, although set down on paper by one of his disciples (John 21:24).

Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion

4. Jesus committed his mother into the care of John (who was her nephewm- accounts one proof among many of 'Jesus itself on the Cross' John 19:25-27)
5.  John 19:34 "...spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."- signifying that the heart had stopped beating and the blood was settling in the chest cavity.  Jesus was dead.
6. Body to the nearby tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea. 
7. Luke (23:26), they "rested on the Sabbath".- So Jewish Customs not completed.

Resurrection Part in Gospels.

• Matthew 28:1-20
• Mark 16:1-14
• Luke 24:1-53
• John 20:1-29
• 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

1. Matthew 28:1 Says ". . . Mary went to look at the tomb." Not only Mary Magdalene, Mary  Cleopas , Salome, Shushana, Johshna etc
2. They first visited John’s house, where Cleopas remained and the two Mary’s, joined now by Salome, set off to call for Joanna at the Hasmonaean Palace.
3. Mark, who gives Peter’s version of events, says that the three women set off "very early" and reached the tomb just after sunrise (Mark 16:1-2)

#Why Mary Magdalene Gone to Tomb? 

There are 2 causes

  a) DO JEWS MASSAGE DEAD BODIES AFTER THREE DAYS? Nope...

But What about on 3rd day? Its the 3rd Day- The Jews stop this ritual from 4th day ownwards.  Jesus Risen on the 3rd Day.

  b) Matthew 20:17-19 " ... to crucify Him. And the third day He shall rise again."; Some of them Believe that He may! 

Women at Reaching tomb:

• From Far view, they saw - the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb (Mark 16:3)
• "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!" (John 20:2) [Mary Uses "WE" not I, so a group was there]
•  ‘When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance’ (Mark 16:4).

              Combine all 4 Gospels to get Picture

• Arriving at the edge of the garden, the women look up from a distance and see the stone has been rolled back the tomb.
• Mary jumps to the obvious conclusion, and runs back to Peter and John in Jerusalem.
• The other women continued to the tomb, and went on inside where they encountered the angels.

Angels as Described in Men

• Informed the women that "Jesus had risen" Matthew (28:2), Mark (16:5), Luke (24:4), John (20:12)

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

• Later peter & some followers came and saw Jesus Body was missing John 20:7-10, Mary Magdalene was weeping stood out side the tomb. Jesus appeared, before her, but she first didn't realized that it was Jesus. 
• See John 20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
• Here never mentioned mentioned the Feel of Mary- Frightened, Feared, Amazed, Joyed etc, we can see a mixture of this in the word “Rabboni!”.
