Jesus' Empty Grave - The Toledoth Jesu states that Jesus' tomb was empty and that it occurred by theft. Here is the Bible's explanation.

Flavius Josephus, Historian (AD 37-97) - "Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man. For he was a doer of surprising feats - a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day . . ."  Antiquities of the Jews 18.3.3.

Herod Agrippa, King of Judea
"King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you do.” And Agrippa replied . . . “In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian.” (NASB) Acts 26:27-28
