In Christianity, the empty tomb is the tomb of Jesus that was found to be empty by the women myrrhbearers who had come to his tomb to carry out their last devotions to Jesus' body by anointing his body with spices and by pouring oils over it.〔Craig, William Lane. "The Historicity of the Empty Tomb of Jesus". () Accessed 1 Apr 2013〕 All four canonical gospels report the incident with some variations. Jesus' body was laid out in the tomb after crucifixion and death. All the gospels report that women were the first to discover the Resurrection of Jesus. The first hint that something had happened was the rolled-away stone. This stone, as was typical of ancient tombs, had covered the entrance. They found the tomb to be empty, the body gone, and a young man or angel(s) within the tomb or on the rolled-away stone tells the women that Jesus has risen.〔Stagg, Evelyn and Frank. ''Woman in the World of Jesus.'' Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1978 ISBN 0-664-24195-6〕 These accounts lead to beliefs concerning the Resurrection of Jesus, with many Resurrection appearances of Jesus. The empty tomb points to the revelation of Jesus' resurrection, implicitly in the canonical Gospel of Mark (without the later endings) and explicitly in the other three canonical gospel narratives. ==Agreements and differences in the gospels== All four gospels agree in their emphasis upon the event taking place on the first day of the week and that the women were the first to learn of the empty tomb. All give prominence to "Mary" and attention to the rolling away of the stone that had closed the tomb. There are variations concerning the time at which the women visited the tomb, the number and identity of the women, the purpose of their visit, the nature and appearance of the messenger(s), whether angelic or human, their message to the women and the response of the women to the visitor in the tomb.〔 The account of tells of the intervention of influential followers of Jesus, such as Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night, and Joseph of Arimathea. The Gospel of Luke's account says Joseph was "a good and upright man", a member of the Jewish high Council who had not consented to their decision and action to crucify Jesus. Nicodemus brought about seventy-five pounds of a mixture of myrrh and aloes. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. They laid his body in a new tomb, cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. The account is marked by a sense of urgency in doing this before the Sabbath during which rest would be observed and no work could occur. According to the Gospel of , the Jews, knowing of Jesus' having predicted his resurrection, had placed a Jewish guard to guard the tomb of Jesus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Empty tomb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
