Hi -

Here's an excerpt from the subject piece:
"Porphyry
like Celsus before him also expressed disbelief in Jesus
resurrection. He noted that the only people testifying to this
resurrection were Christ's followers, who were considered "people of
no account,"
they having a vested interest in claiming a resurrection while "the
people of account," Christ's accusers and executioners, the Jews and
Romans, make no statements about having seen personally this allegedly
resurrected being:
"There
is another way to refute the false opinion concerning the
resurrection of [Jesus], which is spoken of everywhere these days. Why
did this Jesus [after his crucifixion and rising- as your story goes]
not appear to Pilate, who punished him saying he had done nothing
worthy of execution, or to the king of the Jews, Herod, or to the High
Priest of the Jewish people, or to many men at the same time, as for
example to people of renown among the Romans, both Senators and
others, whose testimony was reliable?
Instead
he appeared to Mary Magdalene, a prostitute who came from some
horrible little village and had been possessed by seven demons, and
another Mary, equally unknown, probably a peasant woman, and others who
were of no account...Had he shown himself to people _who could be
believed_, then others would have believed through them -and
[Christians] would not today be punished for fabricating these
ridiculous tales."
