Agreed, but you have to admit the word “again” is peculiar.
I'm not going to make the painfully obvious observation about the KJV. To do so would simply be redundant.

Why does the Bible say that Jesus rose again? What does the word “again“ refer to?

1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Hi John146!

The word 'anastasis" translated 'resurrection' is defined as "aná, "up, again" and 2476 /hístēmi, "to stand") – literally, "stand up" (or "stand again"), referring to physical resurrection (of the body). The word 'again' simply infers that He was previously alive in His body, that He died and that He came back to life standing up again in the same physical body, ergo, rose again.

from what i was reading anastasis is not the word in 1 Corinthians 15:4 tho. there, it's egeiró, to waken/awake or raise/arise

The literal rendering does not have the word 'again' but is added in the KJV. Below is the literal interlinear translation:

'and that he was buried and that he was raised the day the third according to the scriptures'

True, but the word 'anastasis' i.e. resurrection is what the word 'rose from the dead' is referring to.

The inference is that, He was alive standing up in His body, He died and was no longer standing in His body and then he came back to life standing up in the same body.

It was added to make it truth lining up with the rest of scripture. But that’s another thread.

can someone show me which part of this says "again" ?
καὶ ὅτι ἐτάφη καὶ ὅτι ἐγήγερται τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς γραφάς
(1 Corinthians 15:4)
"Again" is more for emphasis that anything else, since it is not in the Greek.​

Rose again, as in back to a living condition; although not in the flesh, but in Spirit?

I did a quick google search on it and the above seems logical.

I never gave this much thought before.
Did I read this right a Google search for something in the Bible.. hmm how about that. ;)

Grammatically speaking the word "to life" are understood to follow again. It is sad so many today to not understand the understood options of grammar.

We all know Jesus-Yeshua had been alive before the Cross and after His dying on the crow, he rose again (to life).

That makes good sense. However, every jot and tittle... ;):D

Here is another example of the grammar rule of being understood.

Do you believe Jesus Christ? Yes, I do. Believe Jesus Christ is understood after the emphatic, do.

Good morning all. I will not get ready to walk that doggy.

PS...……….Not an expert on grammar here, and as I mature, it seems, I let a lot of grammar slide for the sake of not being beyond the pail in my posting.

Perhaps both of you will have the integrity to be silent in the future about alleged additions to/deletions from Scripture in other translations.

you would actually have a case if you had a Bible you believed in, but you don’t. Let’s leave it at that.

Yes, it is good to be back with friends and brothers like you. God bless you all.

I love the KJV. I know it is not exactly like modern English, but I do believe that the Spirit will use it to reveal all neccesary truth to the seeking believer.
