John: While it was still dark (20:1)
8. When did Jesus meet the visitors?

Mark, Luke and John why don’t you report on the person who moved this stone? Don’t you know that will be very important in the days to come? Were you not inspired as Matthew was?
And why didn’t you report on the earthquake that happened prior to the opening of the tomb? You really don’t have an excuse. You most have known of this earthquake even if you were not shaken by it.
Matthew and Mark, you said the visitors met only one angel, who inspired you? Don’t you know about what was inspired to your brethren, Luke and John? They were inspired two-two each. Why were you not concentrating while the inspiration was coming? With this contradiction, how do you think we can accept this account?
The Gospel writers, why don’t you agree on a unique position at where the angel(s) were when the visitor(s) visits the tomb? Some said “sitting” while some said “standing”. Which one do you like us to believe in? Is it not from God?
The angel(s) were outside or inside the tomb? You also don’t have a common answer. Why?
Who was/were the first visitor(s) to the tomb? John said Mary Magdalene and the rest were mentioning others. Why are you so confused?
You were also not consistent on the time when the visitor(s) arrive at the tomb. Mark said when the sun had risen while John said while it was still dark.
How do you think we can agree with this account?
Did the contradiction come from God?
