Notes

The four gospels each emphasize different aspects of the empty tomb and resurrection appearances. Matthew focuses on three things:

  1. the reunion of Jesus and his disciples in Galilee,

  2. the Jewish leaders' attempt to discredit the resurrection, and

  3. the importance of the ressurection for the salvation of the world.
