¥The canonical Gospels testify that the tomb of Jesus was empty by the
morning of the third day, and that he personally
appeared to hundreds of people in the
following month or so. As Paul points out, the
Christian faith rests upon JesusÕ bodily
resurrection.
¥The family of Jesus would not have been well-off enough to afford a tomb
such as the one discovered in 1980, at
least until Christianity had been going for a while.
