ACTS 10:40 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;”
'but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen.'—the resurrection ('raised from the dead,' ēgeiren autos ho theos) is God's reversal of the curse; the third day fulfills scriptural prediction and marks the eschatological turning point. The passive 'caused him to be seen' (edōken autos emfhanē genesthai) preserves God's agency while maintaining the mystery of post-resurrection appearances.
Church Fathers on Acts 10:40
And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem Acts 10:39: both we, says he, and you. Then the Passion, and the reason why they do not believe: Whom also they slew, and hanged on a tree. Him God raised up the third day, and showed Him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. (v. 40, 41.) This is a proof of the Resurrection.
