Resurrection of Jesus (English Wikipedia)

TestSee "Why Was Resurrection on 'the Third Day'? Two Insights" for explanations on the phrase "third day". According to Lüdemann & Özen (1996, p. 73) and Pinchas Lapide, "third day" may refer to Hosea 6:1–2:

Come, let us return to the Lord;
for he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.

See also 2 Kings 20:8: "Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?'"
According to Sheehan (1986, p. 112), Paul's reference to Jesus having risen "on the third day ... simply expresses the belief that Jesus was rescued from the fate of utter absence from God (death) and was admitted to the saving presence of God (the eschatological future)."

that we may live before him.

See also 2 Kings 20:8: "Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?'"
According to Sheehan (1986, p. 112), Paul's reference to Jesus having risen "on the third day ... simply expresses the belief that Jesus was rescued from the fate of utter absence from God (death) and was admitted to the saving presence of God (the eschatological future)."

TestSee "Why Was Resurrection on 'the Third Day'? Two Insights" for explanations on the phrase "third day". According to Lüdemann & Özen (1996, p. 73) and Pinchas Lapide, "third day" may refer to Hosea 6:1–2:

Come, let us return to the Lord;
for he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.

The kerygma from 1 Corinthians 15:3–5 refers to two mythologies: the Greek myth of the noble dead, to which the Maccabean notion of martyrdom and dying for ones people is related; and the Jewish myth of the persecuted sage or righteous man, c.q. the "story of the child of wisdom."^[37] The notion of 'dying for' refers to this martyrdom and persecution.^[38] James F. McGrath refers to 4 Maccabees,^[39] "which presents a martyr praying "Be merciful to your people, and let our punishment suffice for them. Make my blood their purification, and take my life in exchange for theirs".^[36] Clearly, there were ideas that existed in the Judaism of the time that helped make sense of the death of the righteous in terms of atonement."^{[web 4]} See also Herald Gandi (2018), The Resurrection: "According to the Scriptures"?, referring to Isaiah 53,^[40] among others: "[4] Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed ... [10] Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. [11] Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities."
