Indeed, if you read the Gospel narratives closely, it’s not easy to say what actually happened. All four of them skip the actual Resurrection. That is, we never see Jesus waken.
There have been many opinions about Jesus’ resurrection, but the one thing that almost everyone has agreed on is that Jesus is a real person who really did live and really was crucified by the Romans. But to rise from the dead, Jesus would have had to have actually died.
The resurrection of Jesus (Biblical Greek: ἀνάστασις τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, romanized: anástasis toú Iēsoú) is the Christian event that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day [note 1] after his crucifixion, starting – or restoring [web 1] [note 2] – his exalted life as Christ and Lord.
