TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Resurrection of Jesus

Scripture unanimously depicts the personal and bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead by the power of God, but numerous other attempts to explain it have emerged: (1) Jesus never really died—instead, he lost consciousness and regained it after being laid in a cool tomb (the swoon theory); (2) the disciples of Jesus stole his body and then lied about a resurrection (see Matt 28:12-15); (3) the disciples had hallucinations and dreams that they mistakenly confused with a physical resurrection; and (4) the resurrection is a personal experience in the heart of faith, not an event in history. Behind such suggestions lies a deep-seated skepticism toward the supernatural, or at least toward whether a miraculous event could have happened. Such suggestions fail to take into account the fact that for New Testament authors and their audiences, the term resurrection could only have meant the literal reanimation of a dead corpse (see 1 Cor 15).

The historicity of Jesus’ resurrection and the historical reliability of the biblical accounts are supported by (1) the evidence of an empty tomb; (2) the presence of women as witnesses (no one would have made up a story with women as witnesses, since the testimony of a woman was considered to be less reliable than that of a man); (3) the varied but basically unified accounts of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances; (4) the transformation of the disciples from a fearful band into fearless followers; and (5) the disciples’ ability to overcome the scandal of following a crucified man (Deuteronomy 21:23 indicates that one who dies such a death has fallen under God’s curse). Judaism had no concept of a dying and rising Messiah that could conveniently be applied to Jesus. Inventing something no one would find conceivable would have made little sense. The most reasonable conclusion is just what the New Testament announces: that Jesus did, in fact, rise from the dead.

Here the Jewish leaders use an imaginary situation to explain that they will protect the soldiers from punishment. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [imagine this is heard by the governor. Then, we will persuade and make you free from concern]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀκουσθῇ τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος

/may_be/_heard this by the governor

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the governor hears this]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡμεῖς πείσομεν

we /will_be/_persuading_‹him›

The chief priests and elders imply that they will persuade the governor not to punish the soldiers. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [will persuade him not to punish you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

you_all unanxious ˱we˲_/will_be/_making

You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [make you free from worry about how you might be punished] or [prevent you from worrying about what might happen to you]
