The account goes as
- women go to the tomb
- The tomb is empty
- Some guy is inside and that guy is reported to say "he has risen", Don't forget to tell his disciples about it... he's going that way.
- And the women told no one.
And there ends the story.
Maybe Mark was going for a second volume and wanted to keep the audience in suspense, huh?
If the women told no one, how did anyone come to know about that exchange in order to write it down?
Either they did tell someone and the account is true, but not the last bit (the most believable bit)
Or they told no one, and this account can only be fictitious!
That's how circumstantial evidence works, or am I doing it wrong?
