The Synoptic Problem: Harmonizing the Empty Tomb Impossible?

Did you know the earliest manuscripts of the Bible end with an empty tomb and terrified women—but no Risen Jesus? In this deep dive into the Synoptic Gospels, we uncover the evolution of the Resurrection narratives and the human fingerprints left on the text.

From the translation issues of Isaiah 7:14 to the "missing ending" of Mark 16, we treat the Gospels like witnesses in a court case. The results might change how you read the New Testament forever.

In this video, we cover:

The Virgin Birth Mistranslation: The difference between Almah (young woman) and Parthenos (virgin) in the Septuagint.

The Missing Ending of Mark: Why Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus stop at Mark 16:8.

The Empty Tomb Discrepancies: One man, two men, or an earthquake with an angel? We compare Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

The Geographic Impossibility: The contradiction between Matthew’s command to go to Galilee and Luke’s command to stay in Jerusalem.

📍 Biblical Locations Mentioned:

Jerusalem: The center of Luke's narrative and the location of his specific resurrection appearances.

Galilee: The location Matthew identifies for the Great Commission, contradicting Luke’s timeline.

If you are interested in Textual Criticism, the Synoptic Problem, or the history of the Early Church, this video is for you. We explore the Bible not as a monolithic download, but as a library of evolving traditions.

🎥 Help Unlock the Ministry Archives (1993-1995) I have boxes of vintage tapes capturing powerful moments of faith, healing, and deliverance from the mid-90s. I want to digitize this footage to share what God did back then—and reflect on how far we’ve come since.

I need your help to purchase the vintage equipment required to save these tapes. Support the project here:
