Commentators like Albert Barnes and A.T. Robertson highlight that the mention of doubt is a sign of the account's honesty. It shows the disciples were not gullible or inventing a story, but were convinced by powerful evidence. Their initial skepticism, rather than weakening the resurrection account, actually strengthens its credibility for believers today.
