First, during the Roman Empire, everyone who was punished with crucifixion, died. No one with an \u201cearthly body\u201d no matter how fit he is would have survived the ordeal. Jesus\u2019 Crucifixion was a method of excruciating punishment combined with severe flogging, exhaustion, trial after trial, crown of thorns and heavy beating while walking and carrying the cross. The flogging alone would have been deathly.<\/p>\n<p>Many have died while being scourged due to severe blood loss. Secondly, the Romans were experts in execution. The crucifixion was the ultimate punishment during that time and no one lived to tell the tale (except for Jesus of course). Jesus died at the crucifixion. When his side was pierced, blood and water poured out.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans knew what they were doing and they were extra careful to ensure Jesus\u2019 death because of the growing believers and the fact that Jesus\u2019 preached about his own resurrection. Thirdly, had Jesus survived the crucifixion and woke up from coma-state; he would still be very weak to roll the heavy stone all by himself without alerting the guards outside his tomb. Lastly, Jesus showed himself to the women first. Women in those times do not carry as much rights as men so if Jesus wanted to show the world that he had risen from the dead, why the women? No one would believe a woman\u2019s testimony in those times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.webp 380w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.webp 620w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.webp 1240w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.webp 700w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.webp 1400w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.jpg 380w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.jpg 620w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.saymedia-content.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTc2Mjk3ODQ1MzcxMTE4NzY1\/10-greatest-biblical-miracles-that-science-tried-to-explain-without-sufficient-evidence.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1211\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"1211\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/evangelicalfishersofmen.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout the Bible, Christ\u2019s resurrection is the greatest miracle of them all.
