Dear Blair,


Jesus resurrected no one. He raised three people from the dead, which is different.

The resurrection has not yet come in the general timing of things. The old testament saints have been taken to paradise now instead of remaining in Abraham's bosom, but as for the resurrection it is not yet here. For in the resurrection there will be judgement as people being brought back to their bodies will be given different types of bodies than before.

Bodies like Jesus had when he was resurrected.  Able to appear and disappear at will ( Father's will) So as to these 8 people, they cant be resurrected .

God bless

Answer
Dear Blair,


Jesus raised three people from the dead during his 3 year ministry.  Found in :-

John 11:38
Mark 5:41
Luke 7:11

Paul and Peter both raised one that we know of but I know many people who have done this same miracle in today's days. And I know ministries that have done hundreds of them. SO don't think it was limited to Jesus ministry alone. He Himself said that we would do greater miracles than He did.

John 14:12

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

SO don't limit yourself to these miracles from antiquity. He still does these miracles today through His body on this earth.

God bless
