Defense attorney: "Which one of you fellows actually spent face time with Yeshua?"
Mattiyahu and Yohanan raise their hands. Marcus and Lucas sit on their own hands, remain silent, and look away to a corner of the courtroom because they know damn well their Roman asses were never anywhere near Judea.
Defense attorney: "Okay, this question is directed to the eyewitnesses. Where did you first see Yeshua after his execution?"
Mattiyahu: "Yudah of Kerioth quit, but we eleven remaining disciples went away into the Galilee region, to the west side of Lake Kinneret and this mountain near Magdala where Yeshua had designated for us to meet. There we saw him! Most of us revered him, but some doubted."
Yohanan: "No, Mattiyahu. That was later. Only Teom doubted, remember? But only a week later he no longer did. On the first day of the week after the execution, when the doors of the room we rented in Yerushalayim were shut and locked for fear of the other Yehudim, Yeshua somehow came and stood in our midst. He said, 'Peace be with you.'"
Mattiyahu: "Nope."
Yohanan: "Yep."
The Defense attorney throws up his hands.
Judge: "Case dismissed!"
