How do we know Jesus' death is an actual event?

Answered in 1 source

The death of Jesus is firmly attested by multiple witnesses, including Joseph of Arimathea, the women who witnessed the burial, and Roman guards.

The historical reality of Jesus' death is supported by significant evidence in the Gospel accounts, particularly in Luke 23:50-56. Those who retrieved Jesus' body, including Joseph and the accompanying women, confirmed His death through their direct interaction with His corpse. Their testimonies, along with the actions of the Roman soldiers and officials, lay a foundation for confidence in the fact that Jesus truly died. This truth is vital since it underpins the Christian understanding of atonement; without His actual death, the penalty for sin would remain unaddressed.
