With all the differences in the gospels, what do Scripture Scholars suggest is the sequence of events?
cf. Raymond Brown
                           
             
                           
      Apostles Leave for
Galilee		   Women go to
tomb		   Stone is rolled away No body found!
                       
   
  Women upset       Women tell apostles Peter goes fishing with some apostles  
 
  Stranger tells them how to fish     Big Catch = Recognize Jesus      
             
  Jesus interacts with all the apostles...gives mission & Spirit    

Apostles proclaim the
risen Lord!

  

People's Reactions:

Jesus Not Risen -- apostles stole body!

Jesus Not Risen in body -- just a "spirit"

Apostles made up story -- God didn't have anything to do with this

Apostles ran away from Jerusalem -- who could believe these people?

"We never saw the risen Lord. How can we believe?"

John's followers mistrust that Jesus would leave Peter in charge
