Biblical Truths :: Examining the errancy of the bible

The two marys on their way from the tomb
- Matt 28:9-10

Mary magdalene, alone
- John 20:14-17, Mark 16:9

Two disciples on road to Emmaus
- Luke 24:15

Luke's sprinting disciples

You know the two traveling to Emmaus in the reference above?
Well, Emmaus is about 10 miles west of Jerusalem, and Luke 24:13-33 has the two being visited by jesus, and the two then go that same hour to the eleven in Jerusalem.

This means these guys ran 10 consecutive miles averaging less than six minutes per mile without stopping for water or breath...in sandals.
Truly a miracle.

There are certainly more fantastic stories found in the bible, yet this one is not portrayed as a miracle. It is more likely an error due to the author's ignorance of Judean geography and/or careless editing.
