Timeline of Events at the Tomb: Differences in Details

In the gospel of John, Mary Magdalene, accompanied by others, first visits the empty tomb and later informs Simon Peter about the missing body before returning to the tomb. Subsequently, she encounters angels at the tomb, then Jesus, and later shares the news with the disciples. Conversely, in Matthew's gospel, Mary and the other Mary visit the tomb where an angel instructs them to share the news with the disciples. They meet Jesus on the way before delivering the message to the apostles, configuring a slightly different sequence of events.
