His body was never found, but supposedly his cloak was discovered. Also, supposedly that is a hoax, but we really can't be sure unless science explains it.
Just to elaborate, it is possible that his body can be recovered, but it would be highly unlikely. I believe the New Testament indicated that Jesus was stored away into a tomb. It did not shed light on any information regarding preservation rituals or practices. So, with that in mind, the body may have already decomposed by now.
Also, the Bible may have said that he walked out of the tomb, but it was talking about his spirit and not his body. That's the evidence that the Bible claims, and it shouldn't be taken so literally.

We believe in many things that we can’t see. have you ever seen the wind. have you ever seen history? have you ever seen your brain? We see the effects of the wind, but the wind is invisible. We have records of history, but it is by "faith" that we believe certain historical events happened. Television waves are invisible, but an antenna and a receiver can detect their presence. The unregenerate man likewise has a "receiver." However, the receiver (his spirit) is dead because of sin (Ephesians 2:1). He needs to be plugged into the life of God; then he will come alive and be aware of the invisible spiritual realm.
Nobody can deny the fact that every leader of every major world religion has confronted the historic person of Jesus Christ. Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet, while Jews either see him as a blaspheming rebel or an exceptional rabbi elevated to deity by idolatrous Gentiles. Many Buddhists regard Jesus as a “bodhisattva” (a perfectly enlightened being who vows to help others), while there’s a Hindu tradition that Jesus was actually a guru who learned yogic meditation in India. You can verify this with a historian if you wish.

you can't prove either way, but it is interesting that no one wrote anything about him for 80+ years after his death....and that, in the beginning, the only things written in reference to him were spiritual in nature....having nothing to do with a human person at all.......and then you have all of the gods and men prior to him that were born, lived, taught, performed miracles, and died and were resurrected in much the same fashion as jesus......when it all adds up, you have the above against and the gospels (not first hand and not impartial) and 3 external sources (all of which are very suspect).

I'm sure there are a few people who know exactly where his body is right now. But the last thing anyone is going to do is make it publicly known where he is. Some crazy nuts would certainly try to desecrate the body, or otherwise destroy it. But for someone who people still talk about after 2000+ years, in my opinion, someone out there has kept track of it.

Here is some history for you of Jesus having been recorded by non- believers, other than the bible ...
And no they won't find His body because He is alive and in it...
Many ancient secular writers mention "Jesus" and the movement he birthed, and the fact that they are antagonistic to christianity makes them reliable..
#1-Cornelius Tacitus-a.d. 55-120..roman historian
#2-Lucian of Samosata-a greek satirist of the latter half of the second century..Lucian spoke scornfully of "Christ" ...
#3-Suetonius - another roman historian ..
#4-Pliny the younger- governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor A.D.112...
#5-Thallus - one of the first secular writers who mentions "Christ " is Thallus , dated perhaps at A.D. 25
#6- Phlegon another secular authority , he wrote a history called 'Chronicles' some of his work was lost however fragments have been found and preserved by 'Julius Africanus'
#7- Mara Bar-serapion -he was a syrian and stoic
People will often die for truth , but never a lie..
Good question and Merry Christ-mas !

Why do you want proof that Jesus existed? Have you not read Romans 1:19,20:'... because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.'

JESUS body will never be found in this time and age, because he is on the right hand of GOD as we speak, we will not have to find his body, for when the time is right every eye shall see him decending from heaven on clouds, in all HIS POWER, and GLORY! COME QUICKLY, LORD JESUS AMEN!!!!!!!! JESUS also said (blessed are they that have not seen me, but yet believe)

"no one can prove that Jesus has ever existed"?????
You ever hear of the Jewish historian, Josephus?
How about the Roman historian Pliny the Younger?
What about the Gospel Writers?
What about the early Christians that lived and worked with the Apostles?
More contemporary writings about Jesus have survived than have survived about Napolean.
So, you're saying Napoleon didn't exist either???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Death is the answer to all "spiritual" questions....I'm not suggesting suicide but no one person will ever know the truth until they die... hence FAITH in what you really want to except as personal truth.....what do you think>>>>>>>???
