Every claim requires equal amounts of evidence.
If I say I went to the shops then we already know shops exist, that I exist, if you know me you know I have legs and could walk to the shops.
That gives my claim a head start from a claim like Jesus can miraculously come back from the dead, walk on water and heal the sick.
In the context of the bible, Jesus isn't a doctor, a magician or someone lucky enough to have been declared dead and then come back to life like some people sort of do.
All of those claims are claims of supernatural miracles, he's being helped by god to do what a normal human couldn't, which we have no hard evidence of ever happening to Jesus or anyone ever.
So both claims require an equal amount of evidence but my claim is not extraordinary because there's already evidence backing up my claim of it being possible to begin with.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
