The extraordinary claim was that Jesus was the messiah. The extraordinary evidence was the resurrection. The means of perceiving the evidence is necessarily ordinary.

The resurrection is an extraordinary claim that requires sufficient evidence to be demonstrably and conclusively true. Testimonies of others, especially as reported by a third party, never make for good evidence when it comes to such grand claims.
