Scars are results of the body reacting to injury in an attempt to heal itself, but jesus was divinely healed, as his entire body was supposedly dead, so the scars would have had to been artificially made, a sort of god's Photoshop to fool the ignorant jesus followers with faked information. If jesus' body had not been altered, just reanimated, he should have been Zombiefied with rotting flesh and maggots. Perhaps it would have been even better to have had an never ending supply of blood pouring out of his wounds as he walked along, that would have convinced them even better. But healed scars doesn't fit the magic narrative, the goat herder gospel writers just didn't know any better.
Actually... didn't the guy only keep the holes in his hands?
The scars on the head from the crown and the back from whipping...? what happened to those?
