'''2.''' '''Multiple eyewitness accounts.''' There are 11 accounts of Jesus appearing after the resurrection to individuals/groups.<ref name="ResEvidenceTGC"/> According to 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, over 500 people saw Jesus alive after his resurrection, in addition to Peter, James, Paul, and the rest of Jesus's disciples. At the time Paul reported these events around 55 A.D., many of the individuals Jesus appeared to were still alive and could be spoken to (this was approximately 25 years after Jesus’ death and resurrection).<ref name="ResEvidence"/>
