John 20:9 :
"For as yet they knew not the
scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead"

Can someone show me the scripture or scriptures that say the Messiah must rise again from the dead?

No time to answer myself so I'm cutting and pasting again:


Question: "Where do the Hebrew Scriptures prophesy the death and resurrection of the Messiah?"

Answer: Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the promise of a Messiah is clearly given. These messianic prophecies were made hundreds, sometimes thousands of years before Jesus Christ was born, and clearly Jesus Christ is the only person who has ever walked this earth to fulfill them. In fact, from Genesis to Malachi, there are over 300 specific prophecies detailing the coming of this Anointed One. In addition to prophecies detailing His virgin birth, His birth in Bethlehem, His birth from the tribe of Judah, His lineage from King David, His sinless life, and His atoning work for the sins of His people,the death and resurrection of the Jewish Messiah was, likewise, well documented in the Hebrew prophetic Scriptures long before the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred in history.

Of the best-known prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the death of Messiah, Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 certainly stand out. Psalm 22 is especially amazing since it predicted numerous separate elements about Jesus’ crucifixion a thousand years before Jesus was crucified. Here are some examples. Messiah will have His hands and His feet “pierced� through (Psalm 22:16; John 20:25). The Messiah’s bones will not be broken (a person’s legs were usually broken after being crucified to speed up their death) (Psalm 22:17; John 19:33). Men will cast lots for Messiah’s clothing (Psalm 22:18; Matthew 27:35).

Isaiah 53, the classic messianic prophecy known as the “Suffering Servant� prophecy, also details the death of Messiah for the sins of His people. More than 700 years before Jesus was even born, Isaiah provides details of His life and death. The Messiah will be rejected (Isaiah 53:3; Luke 13:34). The Messiah will be killed as a vicarious sacrifice for the sins of His people (Isaiah 53:5–9; 2 Corinthians 5:21). The Messiah will be silent in front of His accusers (Isaiah 53:7; 1 Peter 2:23). The Messiah will be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:9; Matthew 27:57–60). The Messiah will be with criminals in His death (Isaiah 53:12; Mark 15:27).

In addition to the death of the Jewish Messiah, His resurrection from the dead is also foretold. The clearest and best known of the resurrection prophecies is the one penned by Israel’s King David in Psalm 16:10, also written a millennium before the birth of Jesus: “For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.�

On the Jewish feast day of Shavuot (Weeks or Pentecost), when Peter preached the first gospel sermon, he boldly asserted that God had raised Jesus the Jewish Messiah from the dead (Acts 2:24). He then explained that God had performed this miraculous deed in fulfillment of David's prophecy in Psalm 16. In fact, Peter quoted the words of David in detail as contained in Psalm 16:8–11. Some years later, Paul did the same thing when he spoke to the Jewish community in Antioch. Like Peter, Paul declared that God had raised Messiah Jesus from the dead in fulfillment of Psalm 16:10 (Acts 13:33–35).

The resurrection of the Messiah is strongly implied in another Davidic psalm. Again, this is Psalm 22. In verses 19–21, the suffering Savior prays for deliverance “from the lion’s mouth� (a metaphor for Satan). This desperate prayer is then followed immediately in verses 22–24 by a hymn of praise in which the Messiah thanks God for hearing His prayer and delivering Him. The resurrection of the Messiah is clearly implied between the ending of the prayer in verse 21 and the beginning of the praise song in verse 22.

And back again to Isaiah 53: after prophesying that the Suffering Servant of God would suffer for the sins of His people, the prophet says He would then be “cut off out of the land of the living.� But Isaiah then states that He (Messiah) “will see His offspring� and that God the Father will “prolong His days� (Isaiah 53:5, 8, 10). Isaiah proceeds to reaffirm the promise of the resurrection in different words: “As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see light and be satisfied� (Isaiah 53:11).

Every aspect of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah had been prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures long before the events ever unfolded in the timeline of human history. No wonder that Jesus the Messiah would say to the Jewish religious leaders of His day, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me� (John 5:39).

There are also non-Biblical sources that speak of the Jewish expectation that the Messiah would rise from the dead. I would have to do some research to find them however.

all that said how is it , even his disciples didn't get it? Was it only a revealed truth by the holy Spirit to believers? Clearly the Hebrew's expected and were looking for a warrior King Messiah. Someone like David who would restore Hebrew sovereignty.

I'm not so sure about that. There were those Jews who expected the Messiah to be as described at Isaiah 53, and Daniel 9:24-27. We know that Jesus was at odds with the religious leaders at that time, and that they wanted to kill him. Why do you suppose that they wanted to do that, knowing as they must have, that he had arrived right when the scriptures said he would? They were more concerned with their political position and their status among and above the people that they were supposed to spiritually shepherd. Jesus actually exposed them as greedy hypocrites (Matthew 23), and they said: "If we let him go on like this, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." (John 11:48, NASB)

So it was the religious leaders of the Jews that, fueled by greediness and political designs, strongly desired a warrior Messiah that would conquer the Romans and secure their place as powerful men in high places. The humble "common man" that the religious leaders despised looked for the kind of Messiah that Simeon and Anna were awaiting, as recorded at Luke 2:25-38.

There is no explicit, or even implicit statement in the Hebrew Bible suggesting the Messiah must rise again from the dead. If Jesus truly taught this, he was not obeying the rules of modern exegesis. But then, no ancient Jew obeyed the rules of modern exegesis. More than likely, Jesus drew upon various themes of the Bible, pieced them together, and then interpreted them. The interpretation is highly subjective: that is, a modern day seminary student would get a big fat F if he treated the Bible as Jesus did.

[JehovahsWitness]

... a modern day seminary student would get a big fat F if he treated the Bible as Jesus did.

It seems readers would then have to choose between following pattern of scriptural teaching as established by the Son of God and foundation of Christian faith, God's chief messenger, the means by which everlasting life can be attained and arguably the greatest man the ever lived ... or being a successful modern day seminary student.

Hmmm, which to choose? ... which to choose?!!

Ah...John's statement. As in perhaps John put this interpretive statement on Jesus lips as well? . It wouldn't be the first time...

But I have to say, the verse from Psalms that you cite is probably the best verse the apologist can cite to make the case, though it seems quite a stretch.

This is yet another example of where the apologist cites as "prophecy" something that is not from prophetic literature. Remember, the Psalms are basically prayers and songs.

Do those songs and prayers occasionaly contain prophetic type statements? Perhaps. Theological truths? More often, more likely. Poetic expressions of the Psalmist's heart towards God? Almost always.

Most likely explanation for what "Jesus" said here? It probably came from John himself based on John's understanding of who Jesus was, and his belief that it sounded like something that Jesus would probably mean if not actually said.

Woven together from various passages and OT themes, as Liam points out. I would agree but I would say that it was John who put the statement on Jesus lips as a reference to a specific but non-existent passage.

We moderns would probably call it "taking poetic license" to put it charitably.

If that is not the case, can you cite a more applicable passage? I don't think the reference from Pslams is very convincing.

Don't you think the disciples too could be excused for having missed it?

Indeed. What seminary students learn is often a far cry from what Jesus taught. Now, why would someone give Jesus "a big fat F"?

Isaiah 53 is a no-brainer. It shows very plainly what the Messiah would be like. Many Psalms relate to the Messiah, as the disciples discerned. Peter applied Psalm 16:10 and Psalm 110:1 to Jesus at Acts 2:27,31 and 34,35.
