Exegesis
The preposition peri {περὶ | pe-rí} with the genitive tes anastaseos {τῆς ἀναστάσεως | tēs a-na-stá-se-ōs} specifies the topic of that speech as “about the resurrection,” while the additional genitive tou christou {τοῦ χριστοῦ | tou khris-toû} narrows this to the resurrection belonging to or experienced by Christ.
In context — Acts 2:31
Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ , that neither was He abandoned to Hades , nor did His flesh see corruption.
