Thomas Jefferson's Bible

Thomas Jefferson’s Bible more precisely his “Extracts from the Gospels” ends with the burial of Jesus, “and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.”  This is an inadequate ending to a “Gospel”.  If Jesus had remained in the grave, the Christian movement would have ended.  Mary Magdalene and her companion would have been the only church left.  But exciting things happened, and a process of multiplication began that has not stopped.
