There is the testimonies from all of Jesus' disciples that he rose from the dead. Additionally, what evidence are you supposed to expect from a person who rose from the dead? Furthermore, there is evidence that Jesus existed are the hundreds of scriptures within Jesus' existence that were written. These scriptures cannot have been inspired by some book a government pushed into the faces of people to believe, as some would think. Additionally, only educated people could write 2000yrs ago.
None of the testimonies of Jesus have been proven to be first hand, therefore they are all hearsay and not evidence. As for what evidence would I expect. I would expect that if Jesus had done the things he reportedly did, he would be in nearly every major civilization's writings and we would find some sort of proof of him outside of the bible.
