“So you are confident that the women and disciples knew the exact tomb in which Christ was buried and didn’t make it up,” Brett observed.

“Yes. I think we can give them that.” Scott reached over and grabbed another book in which he had placed a marker. “In discussing the records of Jesus’ entombment in Joseph of Arimathea’s sepulcher, Dr. Wilbur Smith wrote,”

We know more about the burial of the Lord than we know of any single character in all of ancient history. We know infinitely more about his burial than we do the burial of any Old Testament character, of any king of Babylon, Pharaoh of Egypt, any philosopher of Greece, or triumphant Caesar. We know who took His body from the cross; we know something of the wrapping of the body in spices, and burial clothes; we know the very tomb in which his body was placed, the name of the man who owned it, Joseph, of a town known as Arimathaea. We know even where this tomb was located, in a garden nigh to the place where He was crucified, outside the city walls. We have four records of this burial of our Lord, all of them in amazing agreement, the record of Matthew, a disciple of Christ who was there when Jesus was crucified; the record of Mark, which some say was written within ten years of our Lord’s ascension; the record of Luke, a companion of the apostle Paul, and a great historian; and the record of John, who was the last to leave the cross, and, with Peter, the first of the twelve on Easter to behold the empty tomb.40
