Paul’s vision of Jesus on the way to Damascus led him to proclaim that he was a personal witness to the resurrection. Jesus was first seen by Peter, said Paul, ‘And last of all he was seen of me also’. But Paul never mentioned Mary Magdalene. Engraving in the Nuremberg Chronicle, German, 1493.

Five years later, in AD 70, during the Jewish uprising against the Romans both Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed. Josephus describes the scene.

The slaughter within was even more dreadful than the spectacle from without. Men and women, old and young, insurgents and priests, those who fought and those who entreated mercy, were hewn down in indiscriminate carnage. The number of the slain exceeded that of the slayers. The legionaries had to clamber over heaps of dead to carry on the work of extermination.
