If it was removed and hidden it's a good bet the Romans did it to prevent the grave from becoming a shrine and a symbol of political opposition.... Not hardly...remember, BECAUSE of the resurrection, and the empty tomb, and because of the commission of Jesus to the Apostles, they returned to Jerusalem and were preaching the resurrection and salvation of Jesus and converting many to Christianity causing all sorts of ruckus.... If they hid the body, why didn't the Romans simply point to the body of Jesus and say "Here it is" or parade the body through town propped up in a cart....Christianity would have DIED...then and there. As one writer put it, "It passes the bounds of credibility that the early Christians could have manufactured such a tale and then preached it among those who might easily have refuted it simply by producing the body of Jesus." <JWMontgomery-History and Christianity Downers Grove, Ill.: Intervarsity Press,1972, p.78>
