Because he claimed to be God. He validated his claims by performing miracles. When questioned by the religious establishment regarding such claims, they asked for another "sign." Jesus responded, "destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again." Three days following his crucifixion he rose from the dead. The body is often called a temple in The Bible.
Even his enemies, those who crucified him testified that he had in fact risen from the dead. The Bible states that the Pharisees bribed the guards to say that the disciples stole the body (an admission that there no longer was a body present). However, if his disciples stole they body, why would they be so willing to die (all were martyred- except John) for a belief that would be based on their personal deceit. The disciples, his enemies, his half brothers, and Paul (a former persecutor of Christians) all believed they saw the resurrected Jesus.
