Who were the eye
witnesses [sic] to the resurrection of Jesus?
There were ZERO
eyewitnesses to the resurrection! But hold that thought for a moment. The
resurrection of Jesus happened in a tomb. No one was in the tomb with Jesus;
therefore there were no eyewitnesses of the event itself. However, the Bible
declares that many people, including some who witnessed the burial of Jesus and
then came upon His empty tomb, had a personal encounter with Him. They simply
told the amazing story that Jesus was alive. They talked with Him, and ate with
Him on different occasions for a period of 40 days. That is the testimony of Scripture.
Among those who saw Him were: Mary Magdalene and other holy women [Mark 16:9; Matthew 28:9], Cleopas and another disciple near Emmaus [Luke 24:15-18], the disciples and a crowd of more than 500 [1st Corinthians 15:3-6].
