city and appeared to many people. (Matthew 27:51-53)
In the Gospels of Mark, Luke and John, there are several descrip-
tions of the supposed burial of Jesus (pbuh). However, no mention is
made of an earthquake, which is impossible to have been forgotten if
such an earthquake had ever occurred.

Events that took place following the
supposed burial of Jesus (pbuh):

Events alleged to have taken place following the supposed burial
of Jesus (pbuh) are described differently in the four Gospels:

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bot-
tom. The Earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the
bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out
of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and
appeared to many people. (Matthew 27:51-53)
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large,
had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man
dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
(Mark 16:4-5)
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered,
they did not find the body of ... Jesus. While they were wondering about
this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside
them. (Luke 24:2-4)
So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running,
but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over
and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then
Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw
the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been
around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the
linen. (John 20:3-8)
