Resurrection, however, was believed by some. The Pharisees believed in resurrection but the Sadducees did not - hence the aggressive questioning of Jesus about his own predicted resurrection. And also, this helped in the conversion of Paul - a Pharisee - when he met the resurrected Christ on the damascus Road.

Is there proof in the Bible that Jesus is the true God?
All proofs in the Bible that Jesus is the true God rely on uncritical acceptance of the gospel testimony and the prior belief that his spiritual father, the Abrahamic God, is the ultimately true god.

The Resurrection could provide further supporting evidence, but by itself could simply be evidence that God willed Jesus to complete his mission on earth.
