From the very earliest time we have people, Celsius in this case, deriding Jesus's resurrection, not least because it was witnessed first by "[a] hysterical female":
"... but after death he rose again and showed the marks of his punishment and how his hands had been pierced. But who saw this? A hysterical female, as you say, and perhaps some other one of those who were deluded by the same sorcery, who either dreamt in a certain state of mind and through wishful thinking had a hallucination due to some mistaken notion (an experience which has happened to thousands), or, which is more likely, wanted to impress the others by telling this fantastic tale, and so by this cock-and-bull story to provide a chance for other beggars." Celsus in Origen Contra Celsum 2.55, from Huffman, Douglas S, 1997, "The Historical Jesus of Ancient Unbelief", JETS, 40/4, p.560.
If you make something up you wouldn't have, to a Roman mind, such an 'unreliable' witness!
Jesus is risen. HE is risen indeed. Hallelujah!
