Matthew 28:1-10 versus John 20:1 and 2.

[XRose]

Willy,

So you're saying that the Matthew account is referring to the second time that Mary M. came to the tomb?

That is what I thought possible going over it, researching your post, … but my position is still one of independent recollection, …

But what if one independent recollection seems to contradict an other independent recollection?

Don't quibble over trivialities.
There were two Marys.
Matthew records one angel, John two.
John 20:19 records Jesus suddenly materialising a human body right in the midst of the disciples in the locked upper room; how do you explain that?

That's an issue for a different topic.
