Faked death? My take is that it was not actually intended that way. It was very, very natural for a mother and faithful followers of Jesus to want to retrieve his body for fear of it falling into the hands (never mind the Romans) of people who might want to desecrate/mutilate it. I believe the Crucifixion was allowed to happen because the sight of a miracle worker dying on the Cross is consistent with His teachings of humility, forgiveness, non-violence etc. and also it would evoke considerable pathos in connection with the thought of The Supreme Sacrifice (God sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins so that we may have life everlasting etc.) Also, if the mention of the removal of Jesus' body from the tomb was omitted from the scriptures, then the line in the Christian Credo (I Believe), "On the third day he arose from the dead......" becomes a bona fide article of faith! The truth is probably he rose from being dead a few hours after the Crucifixion and His disciples knew that from Day 1. Certain it was they met him on the DAY 3! No big deal here as they were most likely with him most of the time!!! May I suggest that you go to your local video store (since you love movies, e.g. you saw "Titanic" twice!! to have a death&tragedy fix, eh?), borrow "Planet of the Apes, Volume 1" and enjoy it.
