- Mary of Magdala and the others entered the empty tomb and were told to tell the disciples he had arisen, prompting immediate confusion and alarm among the followers.
Temple Cleansing Foreshadows Resurrection
- Jesus confronted corruption in the Temple, calling it defiled and a den for thieves rather than a house of prayer.
- His declaration to "destroy this temple and I shall raise it up in three days" was misunderstood as literal assault on the building but referred to his body and resurrection.
Folded Shroud Suggests Resurrection Not Theft
- The folded shroud at the empty tomb argues against grave robbery and suggests deliberate departure rather than theft.
- Peter and John grapple with the theological implications while the disciples struggle to interpret the strangers' message to remember Jesus' words.
