The Witnesses Were Credible
Commentators highlight that the witnesses to Jesus' resurrection were not strangers but his closest followers who had traveled with him from Galilee. Scholars like A.T. Robertson note these were "the very men who knew him best and who could not be easily deceived." Their long-standing, intimate relationship with Jesus makes their testimony about seeing him alive after his death exceptionally strong and reliable.
