Resurrection

denotes (I) "a raising up," or "rising" (ana, "up," and histemi, "to cause to stand"), Luk 2:34, "the rising up;" the AV "again" obscures the meaning; the Child would be like a stone against which many in Israel would stumble while many others would find in its strength and firmness a means of their salvation and spiritual life; (II) of "resurrection" from the dead, (a) of Christ, Act 1:22, Act 2:31, Act 4:33, Rom 1:4, Rom 6:5, Phi 3:10, 1Pe 1:3, 1Pe 3:21; by metonymy, of Christ as the Author of "resurrection," Joh 11:25; (b) of those who are Christ's at His Parousia (see COMING), Luk 14:14, "the resurrection of the just;" Luk 20:33, Luk 1:20-36, Joh 5:29 (1st part), "the resurrection of life;" Joh 11:24, Act 23:6, Act 24:15 (1st part); 1Co 15:21, 1Co 15:42, 2Ti 2:18, Heb 11:35 (2nd part), see RAISE, Note (3); Rev 20:5, "the first resurrection;" hence the insertion of "is" stands for the completion of this "resurrection," of which Christ was "the firstfruits;" Rev 20:6; (c) of "the rest of the dead," after the Millennium (cp. Rev 20:5); Joh 5:29 (2nd part), "the resurrection of judgment;" Act 24:15 (2nd part), "of the unjust;" (d) of those who were raised in more immediate connection with Christ's "resurrection," and thus had part already in the first "resurrection," Act 26:23, Rom 1:4 (in each of which "dead" is plural; see Mat 27:52); (e) of the "resurrection" spoken of in general terms, Mat 22:23, Mar 12:18, Luk 20:27, Act 4:2, Act 17:18, Act 23:8, Act 24:21, 1Co 1:15-13, Heb 6:2; (f) of those who were raised in OT times, to die again, Heb 11:35 (1st part), lit., "out of resurrection."

ek, "from" or "out of," and No. 1, Phi 3:11, followed by ek, lit., "the out-resurrection from among the dead." For the significance of this see ATTAIN, No. 1.

"a rousing" (akin to egeiro, "to arouse, to raise"), is used of the "resurrection" of Christ, in Mat 27:53.
