Always puzzled out how differing accounts of 'eyewitnesses' seems to be OK in the apologetic handbook. How on earth can the same event be seen so differently? That in itself speaks of imagination. The other accounts also missed the dramatic vision of the Angel seen by Matthew.
"And behold, there was a great earthquake; for the ANGEL of the Lord descended from heaven, and come and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it." -Matt. 28:2.
"And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold TWO MEN stood by them in shining garments." -Luke 24:2-4.
[Somehow Luke missed the dramatic entrance of the angel and the earthquake. All these accounts are pretty odd when you consider only the women were there and again we see the literary device of the eyewitness narrator that could simply not have known the details. Did the women tell different stories? ]

Mark 16:5 states a "YOUNG MAN", and John 20:11-12 states "TWO ANGELS".

WHERE THESE MEN OR ANGELS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE TOMB?
Matthew 28:2 states OUTSIDE, while Mark 16:5, Luke 24:3-4, and John 20:11-12 state INSIDE.
Incidentaly Luke 24:4 has them as STANDING while Matthew 28:2, Mark 16:5, and John 20:12 say SITTING.

AFTER THE WOMEN LEFT THE TOMB WHO DID THEY TELL?
"...did run to bring his disciples word." -Matt. 28:8, "...told these things to the eleven." -Luke 24:9, ________"...neither said they any thing to any man." -Mark 16:8.

DID MARY KNOW IT WAS JESUS WHEN HE FIRST APPEARED TO HER?
Matthew 28:9 says YES she did, John 20:14 states NO she did not.
