This scripture in Matthew talks about what you were asking..

Matthew 25:73
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

I have to say this if you don’t mind, you making a claim that the Gospels are un-true or did not happen is no different that Atheists saying there is no proof of G-d or that he was involved in writing the Bible...

If you think it is different how...

LOL..Not that this is funny but just ironic I come here in defense of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I go to the other secular site and have to defend the entire Bible that it’s not a fairytale and that 1 G-d exists that was the Creator of all created.

Many young people today are giving up on religion, they have no interest in G-d and the Bible...Very sad, but a Sign of the Times...

Here, I’ll repost it for you so you don’t have to scroll up.

The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, writing during the second half of the first century AD, produced two major works: History of the Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews, and he had not one word to say about this most extraordinary occurrence. Fifty days after the alleged event, Peter was giving a speech recorded in Acts 2, but said nothing about the saints rising. Paul, who spoke at great length (1 Corinthians 15) to convince his listeners that Yehoshua’s resurrection had occurred, had nothing to say about it either.

The appearance of these bodies “unto many” must have been the sensation of a lifetime for the residents of Jerusalem. If this remarkable event actually happened, why did only Matthew report it? About twenty percent of the gospels is repetition so it is not as if New Testament writers did not like to repeat what others have written; repetition of the most mundane events occurs everywhere, so why didn’t Mark, Luke, John, Peter, or Paul write about the dead bodies of the saints marching through Jerusalem, appearing unto many?

Also, how come Matthew doesn’t think we should know the names of the saints that rose from their graves? Why doesn’t he tell us with whom the bodies of the saints met, and what they said—assuming they said anything, and where they went after their appearance unto the many? Did the bodies of the saints dutifully return to their graves after a polite visit, or did they remain for years among the residents of Jerusalem? Is there proof for this event that has so many unanswerable questions?

Where did I say they were untrue? Which post specifically?
