theVoid I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of those two conflicting stories but if you have ever read the N.T. you will see that it is chock full of such contradictions. If you really want to have fun just read about Jesus death on the cross and his resurrection. Stick to the synaptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Those contradictions are so great as to be an insult to anyone's intelligence.
According to 1 Corinthians 15:4-6
4.And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5.And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6.After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
My question is if all these people allegedly saw Jesus after his resurrection, then why did we not find any of them writing about it? I know that illiteracy was pretty common in those days among the peasant folk, but out of a crowd of 500 eyewitnesses are we to believe that not one of them could write about what he saw and what transpired?

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
