AD 1480

the place in which they were gathered was moved: This was the proof that they were heard, and of His visitation.

In fact, they had no means of proving that He was risen, except by miraculous signs. So that it was not only their own assurance that they sought: but that they might not be put to shame, but that they might speak with boldness.
