| 4. Linguistic Exegesis This verse continues the creedal pattern established earlier, with hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introducing content clauses specifying the events delivered and received. The first clause, hoti etaphe {ὅτι ἐτάφη | hó-ti e-tá-phē}, employs the aorist passive indicative to present the burial as a completed historical fact. The second clause, kai hoti egegertai {καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται | kaí hó-ti e-gḗ-ger-tai}, uses the perfect passive indicative to highlight the resurrection’s enduring effect. The temporal dative tē hemera tē tritē {τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ | tē̂ hē-mé-rā tē̂ trí-tē} yields “on the third day,” with tritē attributively specifying which day. The phrase kata tas graphas {κατὰ τὰς γραφάς | ka-tá tàs gra-phás} indicates conformity to the authoritative Scriptures. In the formal reconstruction, both clauses are rendered with parallel “that” constructions to preserve creedal rhythm, while the dynamic rendering emphasizes narrative flow by allowing the second clause to stand more freely, retaining temporal and scriptural qualifiers. |
