Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence?

His miracles were written down decades to centuries after him
Its funny how the Romans who loved to keep records of everything never mentioned any of his miracles

Strong evidences are hidden, probably due to opposition party or Jesus intentionally hid it (eg. after the resurrection, Jesus only showed Himself to 500 disciples, not to Romans,etc.)

The reason is because they close their hearts regardless of what they see, they would not believe it.

‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
and seeing you will see and not perceive;
for the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
so that I should heal them.’
-Matt 13:14-15


Hence, John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Josephus in his Antiquities of the Jews names Jesus as the Christ and records the resurrection. See Book 18, Chapter 3.

Jesus' miracles happen in such a strange way. They can be shown in the bible, and also shown in testimony. The Lord and I have a strange connection where I get a sense or urge to do something. For example; Christmas time is one of the most terrible times of the year because everyone is money grinding. Gifts need to be bought and decorations need to be put up. My former co-worker had just been fired from her job two months prior to Christmas. Now, before you ask she did not deserve to be fired for it was due to her illness that she needed to call in. She had previously been in a car crash and was suffering from that as well.

She had been texting me about her concerns around December when I decided to look in my bank account. I had very little money, but I still gave that to her so her kids could have a present. I also included food, laundry soap and other things. About a few weeks after Christmas I received in the mail the exact amount of money that I gave her. It wasn't from her. Strange. . .
