1. a raising up, rising (e. g. from a seat): Luke 2:34 (opposed to πτῶσις; the meaning is 'It lies (or 'is set' A. V.) like a stone, which some will lay hold of in order to climb; but others will strike against it and fall').

2. a rising from the dead (ecclesiastical Latinresurrectio) (Aeschylus Eum. 648);

a. that of Christ: Acts 1:22; Acts 2:31; Acts 4:33; Romans 6:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 3:21; with the addition of νεκρῶν, Romans 1:4 (a generic phrase: the resurrection-of-the-dead, although it has come to pass as yet only in the case of Christ alone; cf. Acts 17:32; Winer's Grammar, § 30, 2 a. at the end); ἐκ νεκρῶν, 1 Peter 1:3.

b. that of all men at the end of the present age. This is called simply ἀνάστασις or ἡ ἀνάστασις, Matthew 22:23, (28), 30; Mark 12:18, 23 Luke 20:27, 33, 36; John 11:24; Acts 17:18; Acts 23:8; 2 Timothy 2:18; by metonymy equivalent to the author of resurrection, John 11:25; with the addition of ἡ ἐκ νεκρῶν, Luke 20:35; Acts 4:2; or simply of τῶν νεκρῶν (on the distinction which some (e. g. Van Hengel on Romans 1:4; Van Hengel and Lightfoot on Philippians 3:11; Cremer, under the word) would make between these phrases, see Winers Grammar, 123 (117); Buttmann, 89 (78)), Matthew 22:31; Acts 17:32; Acts 23:6; Acts 24:15 (Rec.), ; ; 1 Corinthians 15:12f, 21, 42; Hebrews 6:2. ἀνάστασις ζωῆς resurrection to life (ἀνάστασις εἰς ζωήν, 2 Macc. 7:14 (cf. Daniel 12:2)), and ἀνάστασις τῆς κρίσεως resurrection to judgment, John 5:29 (on the genitives cf. Winer's Grammar, 188 (177)); the former is ἀνάστασις τῶν δικαίων, Luke 14:14; κρείττων ἀνάστασις, Hebrews 11:35 (so called in comparison with a continuance of life on earth, which is spoken of as an ἀνάστασις by a kind of license; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 460 (429))). ἡ ἀνάστασις ἡ πρώτη in Revelation 20:5f will be that of true Christians, and at the end of a thousand years will be followed by a second resurrection, that of all the rest of mankind, Revelation 20:12ff On the question whether and in what sense Paul also believed in two resurrections, separated from each other by a definite space of time, cf. Grimm in the Zeitschr. für wissenschaftl. Theol., 1873, p. 388f.

c. the resurrection of certain in ancient Jewish story who were restored to life before burial: Hebrews 11:35.
