I wont answer your question because I question your question.
Jesus wouldn’t answer Pilate.
Looking back at my posts, I did see that the both of them are not labled such as this. The original was a thread that got off topic and the sequel was a reply to that. I’m going to ask that you check both out, because I only posted the answer to one.

You mean you are equating yourself to Jesus??
You won’t answer my question but in the thread you directed me to you expect others to answer your question:
This belief (Jesus going first to His Mother) is not found in the Bible, but, it is widely believed. I ask for this reason: because it makes sense and is believed – That He went to Her to tell Her, ‘I’m Okay…Dad sends His Love…’,
OR, can you not accept this because it’s not recorded in the Bible?
Also why are you maintaining Jesus appeared first to Mary is a tradition in this thread when in the two threads you referred me to to read your comments you admit its not a tradition.
Your own words:
“And this is what I am coming to find out:
I thought this WAS a tradition; it appears to be a theory, not a bad one, and, since it is the Pope who posited this, one could reason that it is not for nothing he has said this (with all the scholarship tools at his disposal and all).”
“**What this theory (the one I erroneously proposed as tradition) **says is that Jesus went to His Mother first. What the Gospels cover is that Mary Magdalene was one of the first followers of Jesus to go to His tomb.”
**“I was under the assumption that this was a tradition, but, I’ll stop propositioning it as such if it’s merely the theory of the Pope **who got to be who he was because of his dedication to the Queen of Heaven.”
Therefore as you admitted all the above do you now accept the Church teaching:
CCC 641
Mary Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish anointing the body of Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the Sabbath began on the evening of Good Friday,
were the first to encounter the Risen One.
