That is why I said "excluding the later addition".


It is possible the original included seeing Jesus as a shining light in Galilee, and people removed it because they did not like it. The Gospel of Peter is also missing its ending. Coincidence?

Well, yes, probably.


Agreed.

It was two days Jesus was dead. Crucified Friday, the first day, dead for Saturday, the second day, and then raised on Sunday the third day, which is "after two days". It comes from here:

Hosea 6:2 After two days he will revive us;​

on the third day he will restore us,​

that we may live in his presence.​

…and here,

“And Joshua (Jesus) commanded the officers of the people, “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’” (Joshua 1:10)​

​

It is all types and shadows. The Gospels are no different. They just add another layer on what had been previously written.

​

What place?

The place where he was commanded to sacrifice his Son. For three days Abraham endured the thought that his Son was as good as dead.

Abraham also comforted himself that God would have to resurrect his son from the dead if He were to keep his promise to him that his descendants would be plentiful. He believed God would keep his word and not lie.

Hebrews 11: 17 By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, 18 of whom he had been told, “It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you.” 19 He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

Are you interesting in discussing a debate about the resurrection of Jesus between Bart Ehrman and Justin Bass answering the question, Did Jesus rise from the dead?

Yes, that would be fine.
