Mathew 28 described on the day after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb and found that the stone was rolled back and an angel told them this: 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go qui...
For example, Christian scripture proclaims that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his death in an event known as the Resurrection. The disciples came to believe in Jesus' resurrection after they found his tomb empty and later encountered a living being, on several different ...
