The four Gospel accounts of the visit of the women to the tomb offer an interesting case study for the type of variety that can exist in these narratives when they are telling the same story. 

Reference: Raymond E. Brown, The Gospel According to John (xiii-xxi), The Anchor Bible, 1970, p. 974.

Read the following four Gospel accounts of the women visiting the tomb:

  • Mark 16:1-8
  • Matthew 28
  • Luke 24
  • John 20
  1. What differences catch your attention among the four accounts?
  1. What does each of the accounts seem to be highlighting the most?
  1. After you have read all four, what are your predominant impressions? How are those impressions impacted by having all four accounts?
