Exegesis
The second clause introduces the temporal dative phrase tē tritē hēmera {τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ | tē̂ trítē hēmérā} ‘on the third day’, specifying when the future passive verb egerthēsetai {ἐγερθήσεται | egerthḗsetai} ‘he will be raised’ takes effect, implying divine agency without naming the actor. Greek punctuation separates this predictive sequence from the narrative reaction.
Root and etymology
ἐγείρω
“to raise, awaken”
