The big question for me, generated partly by the miracles of the Gospels, is this: Why was there no queue at the tomb in anticipation of Jesus's resurrection from the dead? In fact, in Mark, including the longer endings, there seems to be a tendency 'to queue in the opposite direction' as it were. Eg The feeding miracles and particularly the Lazarus miracle recorded by John, do not lead to a queue at the tomb or to any sense of anticipation . . . I think that is where the real issue of the miracles starts. A worthy project. Ivan
The disciples are recorded as not understanding Jesus’ words re his death and resurrection. They expected his kingdom to begin shortly esp after his triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
