If you think about it, if the resurrected Christ walked through the walls, why was it necessary to move the stone at the tomb? For effect? As a proof? Imagine that! Wouldn't just Christ's appearance before the apostles be proof enough?

The empty tomb with the stone rolled away was a witness to the rest of the world.

the stone

It is also a literal fulfillment of Isaiah 8:14f cf Ro 9:33

Seems trivial if not naive. Wouldn't his appearance be sufficient proof to the rest of the world (including the Sanhedrin)? Anyone could have rolled away the stone; a resurrected Jesus with his wounds still intact would be convincing beyond any doubt.
