Believe it or not, that the tomb was empty that morning when Peter got there is a fairly agreed upon fact. Obviously not everyone believes Jesus rose from the dead, but just about every scholar agrees that a man named Jesus really lived, that he was executed by the Romans, was buried, and that on the 3rd day, the tomb where he had been laid was found empty. On those points there is no substantial disagreement. The question for debate is, “How did the tomb get empty?” There are really only three options.
