Matthew has, "Abraham was the father of Isaac... and Ram the father of Amminadab..." (Mt 1:1-4)

Luke has "Amminadab, son of Admin." (Lk 3:33)
That was an Admin error.

Has the discrepancy with Judas's death been talked about yet? I realise that one account was in Acts, not the gospels, but hell it's all the bible.

I have two.

First, Luke claims that ELEVEN disciples were present when Jesus first appeared to them on Easter night, while John claims that Thomas was ABSENT (making the number ten).

Second, Matthew writes that an angel at the tomb informed Mary M. that Jesus had risen, while, in John, she reports to the disciples that she thinks the body may have been stolen. In John's account, it is JESUS HIMSELF who informs Mary of his resurrection.

I think these fall under the easter quiz that was mentioned earlier.

And guys...I've been away for only 2 months and suddenly it's punland. What gives?

Edited, because I don't want anyone thinking I'm criticizing. I mean, I love it, and I nearly spewed tea on Kirby's "canon" joke, but it seems everyone is much lighter than of times old.
