I love how long this story goes on for -- the Jews are desperate to find a loophole, looking for any reason not to believe that this was a miraculous healing. Everywhere they turn, however, they are stymied -- they keep running into the truth.
This is not dissimilar to Christianity. People have been trying to poke holes in Christianity for 2,000 years. Every possible proposal to explain the resurrection has been thrown out there, many of them multiple times, and Christianity absorbs them all. We can welcome tough questions and inspections, because each question reveals to us the robustness of the faith. I don't have answers to every objection, but there are people out there who help shape my understanding and can help me respond to objections in time. Let the questions come, for in delving in to respond to them, we deepen our own knowledge of the faith and grow in our spiritual walk.
