St. Matthew wrote a summary of events concerned with a principal character. If he had to describe in detail all connected with accessory incidents he would never be don. The proof that the Gospels as a whole are reliable history covers all these minor incidents. If a reliable historian relates that a man was killed during a street accident he is describing, and with the death of whom he is chiefly concerned, no one reasonably says, “I shall believe that man to have been killed only when you give me the names and addresses of every person in the street at the time.” The absence of the names makes no difference to the fact that many came forth from their tombs as St. Matthew records.
