Luke
18:31-33: "Jesus took the Twelve aside and told
them, 'We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is
written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be
fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will
mock Him, insult Him, spit on Him, flog Him and kill Him. On
the third day He will rise again.'"
Acts 3:15: "You killed the Author
of life, but God raised Him from the dead. We are witnesses of
this."
Acts 5:30-31: "The God of our
fathers raised Jesus from the dead--Whom you had killed by
hanging Him on a tree. God exalted Him to His Own right hand
as Prince and Savior that He might give repentance and forgiveness
of sins to Israel."
Acts 10:39-40: "We are witnesses of
everything He [Jesus] did in the country of the Jews and in
Jerusalem. They killed Him by hanging Him on a tree, but God raised
Him from the dead on the third day and caused Him to be
seen."
Acts 13:26-38: "Brothers, children
of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this
message of salvation has been sent. The people of Jerusalem
and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him
they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every
Sabbath. Though they found no proper ground for a death
sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed. When they
had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down
from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. But God raised Him from
the dead, and for many days He was seen by those who had traveled
with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to
our people. We tell you the Good News: What God promised our
fathers He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up
Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are
My Son; today I have become Your Father.' The fact that
God raised Him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these
words: 'I will give You the holy and sure blessings
promised to David.' So it is stated elsewhere:
'You will not let Your Holy One see decay.' For
when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell
asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.
But the One Whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the
forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through Him
everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be
justified from by the law of Moses."
Romans 4:23-25: "The words
'it was credited to him' were written not for him
[Abraham] alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit
righteousness--for us who believe in Him Who raised Jesus our
Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our
sins and was raised to life for our justification."
Romans 8:34: "...Christ Jesus,
Who died--more than that, Who was raised to life--is at
the right hand of God and is also interceding for
us."
1 Corinthians 6:14: "By His power
God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us
also."
1 Corinthians 15:15-20: "More than
that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we
have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead. But
He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised. For
if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised
either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is
futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have
fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we
have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of
those who have fallen asleep."
Colossians 2:9-12: "For in Christ
all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have
been given fullness in Christ, Who is the head over every power and
authority. In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting
off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands
of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried
with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the
power of God, Who raised Him from the dead."
1 Peter 1:20-21: "He [Christ] was
chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these
last times for your sake. Through Him you believe in God, Who
raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and
hope are in God."
