Ok Grissom. What have we got? Not much Catherine.
That’s the problem. A body has gone
missing. We’ve been asked to find out what happened.
Both the Romans and the Jewish
authorities are terrified of the effect this news
might have on people.
A crime has been committed. That’s all
I care about.
First things first guys. Let’s talk about
the missing body. Apparently it was of a man named Jesus who was crucified for
blasphemy 3 days ago! Man, that’s nasty! Hey! Any chance Jesus wasn’t actually dead?
That’s unlikely Nick. The Romans were masters when it
came to torturing and killing people. They’d have made sure Jesus was dead.
Nice try though!
Thanks Doc. Anyway…a huge stone was rolled across the doorway of Jesus’ tomb. That thing must’ve
weighed about two tonnes! That makes it impossible for someone to have moved it on their own.
There were also Roman guards
employed to guard the tomb and ensure no one would steal the
body.
Why would anybody want to steal the body of Jesus?
What would be the point?

Well, I’m officially confused! Check out my photos of inside the tomb. The grave clothes haven’t been ripped at all. It
looks like the body simply disappeared into thin air! How is that even possible?
EVIDENCE
You guys aren’t gonna believe this either!
I’ve finished interviewing all the key witnesses and suspects and their stories
are pretty weird.
You remember the followers of Jesus? Well they
deserted him at his death but are now claiming that
he’s alive again!
These guys were miserable, disillusioned and frightened before …but now they’re acting confident and
happy.
When I questioned them they even said they were willing to die for what they believe is true. They sounded pretty
convinced to me!
It’s getting late Jim. Why don’t we head back to the lab and sort out those witness statements?
Read the following eyewitness statements in Luke 23:50 – 24:12. Fill in what they tell you about the event.
•Joseph of Arimathea -
•Mary Magdalene -
•Joanna -
•Mary, the mother of James -
•Peter -
You may also like to question the guards and the Jewish authorities. Their testimony is given in Matthew 28:11-15
•The guards -
•Jewish Authorities -
Problems to Solve
•Missing body•Certainly dead•Stone rolled away•Seen alive ?
***Even stranger: The disciples claim Jesus predicted what would happen. Read Mark 8:31 – does it really match up with the facts ?
Is this all some sort of trick?
