There are four kinds of evidence which are acceptable to any legal mind, namely:

(1) physical, (2) documentary, (3) testimonial, (4) analytical. The claim (see video
below) of these ‘imaginary people that the miracles performed by the Lord Jesus
Christ did not leave behind any evidence is unfounded and idiotic. Let us examine
the issue.

In the first place, we have to consider the accounts in the Bible written by the
apostles and evangelists, as testimonial and analytical evidences. John 20:30-31
says:

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are
not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his
name.”

The miracle in Cana, turning water into wine, was witnessed by John and other
eyewitnesses, wrote it in his account, and the existence of manuscripts dating back
to as early as 120 A.D.(fig. 1), can now be considered as testimonial, analytical, and
physical evidence.
These informations written in the Bible, written in ancient writing materials, and are
now preserved in various museums of the world, whose authenticity and antiquity is
unchallenged even by the detractors of the Bible, can be considered as analytical
pieces of evidences.

Luke, a medical doctor and the only gentile writer of Bible books, writing to
another Gentile, Theophilus, (gentile is someone who is not Jew), investigated the
miracles and the works done by the Lord Jesus from eyewitnesses, wrote them in
his gospel and in the book of Acts, left them as documentary evidence of Jesus’
miracles.

(Luke 1:1-3) “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they
delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and
ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most
excellent Theophilus…”

(Acts 1:1-2)“In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to
do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions
through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.”

Note that what Luke wrote are accounts from eyewitnesses, and first hand
informations, investigated with a perfect understanding of what factually happened.

The testimonial account written and left by the apostles can be subjected to
scientific investigation by any legal mind, and can be proven true by collateral
pieces of physical evidences.

The absence of physical evidence in our time does not mean that there is no
evidence at all! The Lord Jesus healed a woman with an issue of blood for twelve
years. Unfortunately, there were no medical forms accomplished and signed by the
woman to have documentary evidence from the very person healed. It was not
customary then. But eyewitnesses to the miracle wrote them and we have them now
in the Bible. If only there were video cameras in those days, maybe these
‘imaginary people’ will believe! Further, there were no contending parties then that
deny the authenticity of the miracles, so, the Christians did not see any necessity to
preserve the remains of the woman that was healed!

(Matthew 9:20-22) “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For
she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But
Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good
comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from
that hour.”

These accounts written by the apostles, and were read by so many detractors of
Jesus were not contested by the great-great grandfather of these ‘imaginary people’.
The following are the collateral evidences to prove the authenticity of the writings
of the apostles who were eyewitnesses to the miracles done by Jesus.

Roman coins found by archeologists prove the account in Matthew 22:17-21.

“Tell us therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or
not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, why tempt ye me, ye
hypocrites? Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And
he saith unto them, whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him,
Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”

A piece of limestone on which the name of Pontius Pilate was inscribed proves the
existence of the miracle-performing Jesus.
The Roman historian Tacitus wrote concerning the Great Fire of Rome, in book 15,
chapter 44 of his Annals (c. 116):

“Nero subdidit reos et quaesitissimis poenis adfecit, quos per flagitia invisos vulgus
Christianos appellabat. Auctor nominis eius Christus Tibero imperitante per
procuratorem Pontium Pilatum supplicio adfectus erat;”

English Translation:

“Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for
their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the
name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius”

Even a Jewish historian by the name of Flavius Josephus wrote about the miracles
and the works done by the Lord Jesus (- Jewish Antiquities, 18.3.3 §63).

Testimonium Flavianum

(Flavius Josephus’ Account of Jesus)

“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a
man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such
people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks.
He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us,
Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not
cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of
God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the
tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.”

Unfortunate for these materialistic idiots, when Jesus performed a miracle of

Himself when He resurrected from the dead, did not leave any physical evidence,
because no evidence was left in the grave!

They say that Jesus did not leave behind any evidence of His miracles.
Just look who is talking!

God Bless
