That, in and of itself is false. Mark was written around 70ce, Matthew and Luke afterward, followed by John at the end. These are not eyewitness accounts.
The only other account to possibly have existed earlier than this is the Q Gospel, which we don't have (And if existed would more be a document of sayings rather than accounts of Jesus.)
So please, where are the accounts of Jesus by his disciples during his lifetime? Where are accounts between 33ce and circa 70ce. All that you have is Paul, and he is not an eyewitness. There is nothing.
And let's pretend there were eye witness accounts of Jesus's death and resurrection, that is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that Jesus died and came back to life. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
