The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The number of the witnesses to the resurrection was many. The weight of their testimony is quite conclusive.  Both friends and enemies testified to the resurrection of Christ: the women, the disciples, the angels and the Roman guards.

The soldiers were bribed to tell the story of Him being stolen from the tomb (Matt 28:11-15).  Note verse 13, if they were asleep how could they know what took place?

We have the testimony of angels that Jesus had risen as was foretold (Matt 28:8; Mark 16:6).

The Apostle Paul lists a number of witnesses to the resurrection in the fifteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians:  Peter, the twelve, about five hundred brethren, James, the apostles, finally Paul himself on the road to Damascus.
