Xtians make lots of excuses for that.....
None are very convincing.
The Historian Josephus did.

Well if I lived in that day I'd probably get down on my knees and pray, as I'd undoubtedly not be educated enough to question what I'm witnessing. Luckily I live in the modern world where we can assess these sorts of claims scientifically. Even if I'd of viewed Jesus do the things the bible reckons, I'd still have to be skeptical. I've seen David Blaine put a giant needle through his arm. Just because I didn't know how he did it at the time doesn't make him the son of any god. The same with Jesus. Why does he have to perform these so called 'miracles' to convince people. Why doesn't god just whisper in everyone's head simultaneously and say, "I'm here douchebags".
Prophesies in the Old Testament foretold of what Messiah would do and Jesus indeed fulfilled them. He is God so if He chose to perform miracles who are we to question it. David Blaine is yet to raise anyone from the dead let alone himself when he dies.
