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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what the angel says in contrast to the fear that the soldiers felt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [However,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς

answering

Here the angel is answering or responding to a situation, not to something that someone has asked. More specifically, the angel is responding to the fear of the guards by telling the women that they do not need to be afraid. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that the angel is responding to what is happening, or you could leave answering untranslated. Alternate translation: [seeing that the the people nearby were afraid] or [responding to how the soldiers were afraid]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῖς γυναιξίν

˱to˲_the women

Here, the phrase the women refers to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, whom Matthew mentioned in 28:1. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

μὴ φοβεῖσθε ὑμεῖς; οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι Ἰησοῦν, τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, ζητεῖτε

not /be/_fearing you_all ˱I˲_/have/_known for that Jesus the_‹one› /having_been/_crucified ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeking

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [I know that you seek Jesus, the one having been crucified; therefore, do not be afraid]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον

the_‹one› /having_been/_crucified

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 Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: [the one whom Pilate’s soldiers crucified]
