Question 1 Report

The incident of mourning guards at Jesus' tomb was recorded by Saint ________?

Answer Details
The incident of the mourning guards at Jesus' tomb was recorded by Saint Matthew. In the Gospel of Matthew, he describes how after Jesus' burial, the chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate and requested that he secure the tomb because they feared that Jesus' disciples might steal his body and claim that he had risen from the dead. Pilate agreed and ordered that guards be stationed at the tomb. On the third day, there was a great earthquake and an angel of the Lord descended and rolled back the stone from the entrance of the tomb. The guards were so afraid that they shook and became like dead men. When the women came to the tomb, the angel told them that Jesus had risen from the dead, just as he had promised.
