I thought not.
How is this case any different? If dead people come into town professing Jesus as Lord and Savior would you, the magistrate or political scribe, record that?
The scripture under scrutiny, Matthew 27:
Quote:51 The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
