Jesus' resurrection was prophesized?

[Mister Agenda]

Those who saw the resurrected Jesus, saw prophecy fulfilled.

Which was largely the problem. According to even the church accounts, this resurrected Jesus never appeared to much of anybody except for a handful of the faithful. He could have done his career wonders by showing up to improv night in Jerusalem. That agrees well with a resurrection tale that was invented long after the fact, but poorly with an actual resurrection. If that happened today, people would be going out of their minds, and you have to keep in mind just how much more superstitious people were back then. The Roman Senate didn't meet if the auspices were unfavorable. Having somebody come back from the dead with a wound that Doubting Thomas could fondle simply isn't the sort of event that escapes notice. The muted reaction of the apostles that's pretty much just "Oh, hey, looks like Jesus is back. Cool beans." reads exactly like a poorly constructed narrative. Your difficulty is that nobody saw the resurrected Jesus and it shows.

And half the time when they were purported to see him, they didn't recognize him.

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
