It is interesting that the resurrection of Jesus receives so little space in the Gospels, much less than the teachings, or miracles. This is because the resurrection is assumed as a fact. The Gospels do not try to prove the resurrection; they assume the resurrection. They were not written as an apology (a defense of the faith) but as a narrative, simply telling the story. However in a careful reading of the narrative we find an underlying apology of the resurrection.
Consider what percentage of the Gospel is about the resurrection
Matthew .0186%
Mark .0132% - .0294%
Luke .046%
John .063
