Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 386: ἀνάστασιςἀνάστασις, ἀναστάσεως, ἡ (ἀνίστημι) (from Aeschylus down); 1. a raising up, rising (e. g. from a seat): Luke 2:34 (opposed to πτῶσις; the meaning is 'It lies (or 'is set' A. V.) like a stone, which some will lay hold of in order to climb; but others will strike against it and fall'). 2. a rising from the dead (ecclesiastical Latinresurrectio) (Aeschylus Eum. 648); a. that of Christ: Acts 1:22; Acts 2:31; Acts 4:33; Romans 6:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 3:21; with the addition of νεκρῶν, Romans 1:4 (a generic phrase: the resurrection-of-the-dead, although it has come to pass as yet only in the case of Christ alone; cf. Acts 17:32; Winer's Grammar, § 30, 2 a. at the end); ἐκ νεκρῶν, 1 Peter 1:3. b. that of all men at the end of the present age. This is called simply ἀνάστασις or ἡ ἀνάστασις, Matthew 22:23, (28), 30; Mark 12:18, 23 Luke 20:27, 33, 36; John 11:24; Acts 17:18; Acts 23:8; 2 Timothy 2:18; by metonymy equivalent to the author of resurrection, John 11:25; with the addition of ἡ ἐκ νεκρῶν, Luke 20:35; Acts 4:2; or simply of τῶν νεκρῶν (on the distinction which some (e. g. Van Hengel on Romans 1:4; Van Hengel and Lightfoot on Philippians 3:11; Cremer, under the word) would make between these phrases, see Winers Grammar, 123 (117); Buttmann, 89 (78)), Matthew 22:31; Acts 17:32; Acts 23:6; Acts 24:15 (Rec.), c. the resurrection of certain in ancient Jewish story who were restored to life before burial: Hebrews 11:35. The term gathers every strand of biblical hope into one word: bodily rising from the dead. It appears forty-two times, touching every major section of the canon—Gospels, Acts, Pauline letters, General Epistles, and Revelation—and always carries concrete expectation, never mere metaphor. Whether announced by the Lord Jesus, defended by apostles, or celebrated in worship, it stands as the climactic act of redemption. Gospel Testimony • Disputed by Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40). Jesus silences them by rooting resurrection in God’s covenant name: “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Matthew 22:32). Acts: Foundation of Apostolic Preaching • Mandated in the apostolic qualification (Acts 1:22). Pauline Theology • Declares Jesus “the Son of God with power … by His resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). General Epistles and Hebrews • Counts among “elementary principles” (Hebrews 6:2). Apocalyptic Fulfillment • “Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection” (Revelation 20:6); over them the second death has no power. Doctrinal Significance 1. Christological: Vindicates Jesus’ messianic identity and inaugurates His present reign. Historical Context • Jews of the Second Temple period largely affirmed bodily resurrection (Daniel 12:2), except the Sadducees. Ministry Applications • Preaching: The gospel is incomplete without proclaiming an empty tomb. Summary Every occurrence of Strong’s 386 reinforces a single, glorious certainty: the God who raises Jesus will raise His people, bringing creation to its purposed perfection and proving forever that “death has been swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinthians 15:54).
