Hi -
The following was brought to my attention tonight, via a YouTube video.
How likely is it that scribes or whoever recorded -- would FAIL to mention -- in the Bible -- A GREAT EARTHQUAKE relative to what happened.
Matthew is the ONLY gospel that mentions the GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
All of the gospels, though, mention the "first day of the week."
You mean to tell me that they record the "first day of the week" but THREE gospels don't MENTION a GREAT EARTHQUAKE? That's NO MINOR DETAIL.

"Matthew 28:1-2 - KJV
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
"Mark 16:1-2 - KJV
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
"Luke 24:1 - KJV
Now upon the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them."
"John 20:1 - KJV
The FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
