But, yet, "some doubted" (Matthe 28:17). No doubt Vicki will try to spin things and say that some simply "hesitated", but, the tradition is clear -- even among Jesus' followers, not everyone believed that he had risen from the dead. But, if Jesus had truly performed miracles and/or had truly, bodily, risen from the dead, how could anyone not believe?? And, yet, the tradition is clearly there, in Matthew and in John, that not everyone was convinced. To the Roman, Jewish, Greek and other pagan intellectuals and officials of Jesus' day, no one took notice, because, such was not worth their time. As with the proverbial earthquake, solar eclipse, and zombie invasion, life in Palestine went on without a hitch and no one outside of the Gospel traditions beginning with Mark's account thought such worthwhile to mention in a single letter or inscription on some rock or elsewhere.
