"But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them."
Today's quote relates that even though the apostles would, in the end, all come to accept and fully believe in the resurrection of Jesus, most were, at first, very reluctant to believe.
Their doubts came in spite of the fact that some of their own had seen Jesus in person and had talked to Him.
Marks account of these events differs in wording from the accounts of the other gospels, yet all the accounts agree on the general content and on the most important elements of the events.
In the next few days we will attempt to separate out the two most important lessons that are conveyed in the different accounts and bind them together into one total and coherent account.~
