John's disciples, "Took his corpse and laid it in a tomb" (Mark 6:29), but no Gospel has given any evidence that a CORPSE or a DEAD BODY was taken from Pontius Pilate and placed in the tomb of Joseph.
The Gospels knew the difference between life and death and a corpse or a dead body, and they all insist that it was, "it", "he", "him", "his body", "the body", but they all have refused to describe it as a ":corpse" or a "dead body".
And Mark, who knew what a corpse was, reports that "Pilate marvelled if he were already dead".and "he gave the body to Joseph".
So, from Pontius Pilate to the tomb there is no evidence of a corpse, and the body/him/it disappeared within 36 hours, and all that was left were two pieces of linen that wrapped a head and a body, just as if it was the beheaded John the Baptist who was placed in this tomb of the resurrection.
No wonder Herod thought it was John the Baptist who had risen from the dead?
