God raised Him up
This phrase emphasizes the divine power and authority of God in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "raised" is "anistēmi," which means to stand up or to rise. This act of raising Jesus from the dead is central to Christian faith, signifying victory over sin and death. Historically, the resurrection is a cornerstone event that transformed the early disciples from a group of frightened followers into bold proclaimers of the Gospel. Theologically, it affirms Jesus' divinity and the truth of His teachings.

on the third day
The phrase "on the third day" is significant both prophetically and symbolically. In Jewish tradition, the third day is often associated with divine intervention and fulfillment of promises. For instance, Jonah's deliverance from the belly of the fish on the third day prefigures Christ's resurrection (Matthew 12:40). Theologically, the third day underscores the fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions about His resurrection (Mark 8:31) and aligns with the scriptural pattern of God acting decisively on the third day (Genesis 22:4, Exodus 19:11).

and caused Him to be seen
The Greek word for "caused to be seen" is "emphanēs," which means to make visible or to appear. This phrase highlights the tangible and physical nature of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances. It was not merely a spiritual resurrection but a bodily one, witnessed by many (1 Corinthians 15:5-8). Historically, these appearances provided undeniable proof to the early church of Jesus' victory over death and His identity as the Messiah. Theologically, it assures believers of the reality of the resurrection and the hope of eternal life. The appearances also serve as a foundation for the apostolic witness and the spread of the Gospel.

(40) And shewed him openly.--Literally, gave him to be manifest.

Verse 40. - Gave him to be made manifest for showed him openly, A.V.
