The Resurrection of Jesus is typically given the date of 33 AD.

And yet the earliest letters of Paul start maybe 50 AD. The Gospel of Mark is the earliest gospel is 70 AD or thereabouts, pretty much at the earliest.

In any case, a lot of time for "urban legends" to spread, get elaborated, the "better" versions to get repeated with even more energy, etc.

verse 20 — “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged.

verse 21 — “But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.”

So let’s address the issue of Biblical inspiration. Dr. Voddie Bacham states this as to why he trusts the Bible:
I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.
