What of Matthew’s account of the guards? He records that the tomb was guarded (Mt 27:62-6), that the guards fled when the angel appeared (Mt 28:4) and that they were subsequently bribed to say that the disciples had stolen the body while they were asleep. He also comments that this allegation was still current amongst the Jews at the time of writing (Mt 28:11-5).
Some say that Matthew added this in order to bolster the resurrection story against the allegation of body-snatching. But that is hardly likely to have been the case, since Matthew records that the guard was not set until the day after the crucifixion: if he had been making the story up it would have been much more convincing if the tomb had been sealed and guarded from day one.
Kuj, if he were trying to bolster his story, Vim li cas nws yuav txhob txwm ua raws li cov lus qhia uas lub cev tau raug nyiag los ntawm cov thwj tim?
Ib yam yuav tau hais nrog cov ntawv tseeb uas tsim nyog txawm li cas los xij: Mathais tus account yog cov lus tim khawv muaj zog uas lub cev tiag tiag tau ploj mus thiab tias cov ntawv ceeb toom no yuav tsum muaj nyob rau hauv ncig.
Puas muaj ib qho kev ywj pheej corroboration ntawm lub cev uas ploj lawm lossis tus saib xyuas zaj dab neeg? Los ntawm cov neeg Yudais cov ntaub ntawv, tsis muaj; Ntau cov neeg Yudais hais txog Yexus cov lus paub tias tau dhau los ntawm cov neeg Yudais sau txog kev tsim txom hauv cov ntseeg. Tab sis peb muaj ib qho kev nthuav dav heev.
Hauv 1878 Ib daim inscribed marble slab tuaj pom kev nyob rau hauv ib lub zos hauv Kalilais, Los ntawm qhov chaw nws tau raug xa mus rau Paris thiab tam sim no nyob rau hauv Louvre's Bibliastque hauv lub ntiajteb. Nws nyeem raws li hauv qab no:
‘Ordinance of Caesar. It is my pleasure that graves and tombs remain perpetually undisturbed for those who have made them for the cult of their ancestors or children or members of their house. Yog, txawm yog, anyone charges that another has either demolished them, or has in any other way extracted the buried, or has maliciously transferred them to other places in order to wrong them, or has displaced the sealing on other stones, against such a one I order that a trial be instituted, as in respect of the gods, so in regard to the cult of mortals. For it shall be much more obligatory to honour the buried. Let it be absolutely forbidden for anyone to disturb them. In case of violation I desire that the offender be sentenced to capital punishment on charge of violation of sepulchre.’
In Jesus’ sij hawm, Lub zos no thiaj li tsis pom tseeb tias nws tsis tau hais hauv Josephus’ Cov npe ntawm cov neeg Ixayees lub zos thiab zos, lossis talmud. Qee cov kws tshawb fawb niaj hnub txawm thov tias nws tsis tuaj yeem muaj nyob rau lub sijhawm ntawd – txog 1962, uas yog, Thaum nws lub npe tau pom nyob hauv lwm lub sijhawm ntawm Caesarea.
Tab sis los ntawm 1870 lub zos no tau ua lag luam ua lag luam; Tsis ntseeg kev ntaus nqi rau nws lub npe…
… Naxaluj.
Cov ntawv sau tau sau tseg ntawm 50BC thiab 50ad: Tab sis yog los ntawm Kalilais, uas tsis tau los nyob hauv txoj cai Roman ncaj qha txog Adl44, Nws tsis tuaj yeem ntxov dua li ntawd. Qhov no yuav tso nws nyob rau hauv lub reign ntawm Claudius Caesar, Thaum lub sijhawm nthuav dav ntawm lub Koom Txoos Christian tau piav nyob rau hauv phau Vajluskub Teshaujlwm. Hmoov tsis zoo, we cannot rule out the possibility that it may have been transported from elsewhere in order to enhance its value: but it is certainly interesting that such an unusual inscription should turn up here.
