Reaction of Jews and Romans to resurrection of Christ: Q. I have always been puzzled by the lack of reaction to Christ's resurrection from Jewish citizens and Roman officials.
Oh, there was a reaction all right. Read Matthew 28: 11-15.
What convinces me is the reaction of the Apostles. Why would they all insist that Jesus rose from the dead?
There was no money in it.
There were no fame and glory in it. In fact, they were persecuted.
What was in it for them except persecution and tortured to death? (John was exiled.)
And they all told the same story.
