There are „sceptics” who dispute this, however it’s incredibly obvious that they are biased and arguing in bad faith when you look at their other outputs. People like Bart Ehrman would have you believe that they discovered the „hidden truth” that Jesus was not taken down from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea. His argument is very weak, namely that because the roman authorities hated the jews, they would contradict their religion on purpose by leaving criminals on crosses for several days after their deaths. This would not only be incredibly petty, it also doesn’t make any sense. The romans were not anti-semitic, in fact they gave jews several special privlidges, including the most obvious, the ability for the jewish priesthood to execute anyone they choose, as shown in the gospels. The romans were happy to do it too, because the jews under the pharisees followed a corrupted version of God’s teachings that was very beneficial to the idolatry, pagan authorities of the time. In this, „sceptic” „scholars” like Ehrman project their own anti-semitism onto the roman authorities, when in reality the roman authorities could be called the first zionists. You can see this behavior in numerous instances, most notably when the romans, as told by the jews, set free a known insurgent and terrorist Barabas, but turn Jesus, a peaceful man whom they know has done nothing wrong, over to the jews to be executed. Pilate declares him Innocent multiple times, but they are bound to do the pharsees’ bidding.
