Prosecution case
…arguing that Jesus was God.
How did people respond to his death? Did he rise to life (as his disciples claimed)? If
not, what happened to his body? Can we be sure that he died?
If it is possible that he rose to life, what are the implications of this for whether he is God?

Because you cannot
take photos in court

draw a picture

reported on the TV news.
