Final answer:
The question seems to refer to a non-biblical or fictional account, as there is no individual named Marcellus mentioned in the canonical scriptures regarding the news of Jesus' resurrection. It was traditionally the women followers of Jesus, such as Mary Magdalene, who first discovered the empty tomb and were informed by an angel that Jesus had risen from the dead.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question "Who whispered the news about Jesus being risen from the dead into Marcellus' ear?" does not have an answer found within the traditional texts of the New Testament or other early Christian writings. Instead, it seems to be referencing a narrative or tradition not widely recognized in the canonical scriptures. In biblical accounts, the first to discover and proclaim Jesus' resurrection were women followers, specifically mentioned as Mary Magdalene and other women, who found the tomb empty and were informed by an angel of Jesus' rising (Matthew 28:1-10, Mark 16:1-8, Luke 23:55-24:12, John 20:1-18).
The passages provided do not contain any reference to Marcellus, or anyone whispering into Marcellus' ear about the resurrection, suggesting that this question could be related to a non-biblical or apocryphal story, or a work of fiction. Accounts like those from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John describe the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, his burial, and the subsequent discovery of the empty tomb, highlighting the significance of the resurrection in Christian belief.
Early Christian art and celebrations like Pascha (Easter) commemorate the resurrection of Christ. In these, the narrative focuses on the role of the myrrh-bearing women, the empty tomb, and the angelic announcement of Christ's victory over death, rather than any whispers to individuals like Marcellus, who is not a biblical figure associated with this event.
