David:

The issue here is that citing the Bible is part of what is a problem for someone like Tabor, so evidence from 2 Maccabees for the jewish view (which is part of what the church also held is very important to this discussion. Not only that, some of the texts you cite are even debated as being an original part of the books in question (e.g., Mark 16:1-14; many see this gospel ending at v. 8- and they might be right). I know how Tabor and company would handle John. So evidence for the belief in a bodily resurrection from outside the Bible to show the context of the biblical references is very key to this kind of an argument, I hope this helps you to understand how the argument can be made in such a context.
