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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-bmoney

ἀργύρια

/the/_silver_coins

Each of these pieces of silver was a coin equivalent to about four days’ wages. See how you expressed the idea in 26:15. Alternate translation: “the coins made out of silver” or “the money”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐδιδάχθησαν

˱they˲_/were/_taught

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the chief priests and elders. Alternate translation: “the chief priests and elders taught them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διεφημίσθη ὁ λόγος οὗτος παρὰ Ἰουδαίοις

/was/_spread_abroad ¬the word this among /the/_Jews

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “people have reported this word among the Jews”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ λόγος οὗτος

¬the word this

Here, word represents what the soldiers said using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “their story” or “what they said”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μέχρι τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

until the today (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ λαβόντες ἀργύρια ἐποίησαν ὡς ἐδιδάχθησαν καὶ διεφημίσθη ὁ λόγος οὗτος παρὰ Ἰουδαίοις μέχρι τῆς σήμερον)

Here, the phrase until today refers to the time period up to and including Matthew’s present time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the present” or “from then on”
