Concerning his Resurrection

David likened the rising to one who woke from sleep and to a mighty man who left his wine.

A1🔗nd the prophet David also prophesied concerning His Resurrection and said, " I will arise, saith the Lord, and I will make salvation and manifest it openly." And again he saith, " Rise up, O Lord, and judge the earth, for Thou shalt inherit among the nations." And he also prophesied and said, " Rise up, O Lord, help us, and deliver us for Thy Name's sake." And again he said, " Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let His enemies flee from before His face." And he also prophesied and said, " God hath risen up like one who hath woke up from sleep, and like a mighty man who hath left [his] wine." Thus Isaiah the prophet prophesied and said, " He will remove sickness from his soul, for he hath not committed sin, and falsehood hath not been found in his mouth.

2🔗 And to him that hath served righteousness and good will he show light and he will justify him; and he shall do away the sins of many, for he hath not committed sin, and falsehood is not found in his mouth." Thus prophesied David the Prophet and said, " For My soul shall not be left in hell." Thus Solomon his son prophesied and said, " The Sun of righteousness shall arise, and shall travel towards the right, and shall return into His place."
