Matthew 28:2
"There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it."
Mark 16:5
"As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed."
Luke 24:3-4
"But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them."
In summation:
Matthew--One angel outside the tomb.
Mark--One angel inside the tomb.
Luke--Two angels inside the tomb.
The account in John doesn't make any mention of any angels but does mention Simon Peter who's not mentioned in the synoptic gospels.
Care to make sense out of these contradictions?
