Exegesis
The main passive verb ēgerthē {ἠγέρθη | ē-gér-thē} places the resurrection first, and the phrase ek nekrōn {ἐκ νεκρῶν | ek ne-krôn} is the customary expression for emerging from the realm of death rather than merely moving away from a location.
In context — John 2:22
Then, once He was raised from the dead, His disciples called to mind that He had been saying this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
