POINTS OF AGREEMENT


Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles (Luke 24:10, NRSV).

POINTS OF AGREEMENT

Does it matter that the Gospels don’t agree in their accounts
        of what happened at the tomb on Easter morn?
The details are unimportant, for the fact that really counts
        is that all say it was empty Sunday morn.

One more salient detail on which the Gospels all agree
        in their telling of the Easter morning tale:
They concur it was the women who were first to come and see
        that the tomb was empty ---it was not a male!
