50 years isn’t that much, especially considering Jesus’ disciples were likely His own age, such as Matthew and John. They could have been 20 at the time and easily lived to write their own gospels, being aware of their old age.
Also, most historical figures we know about from that era have writings about them existing several hundred years after their existence. It’s actually an anomaly that accounts of Jesus were written so close to the time, as well as the epistles. It’s almost like God literally came down to earth.
God did show Himself as Jesus.
