Hosea 6:2

'After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up' is the strongest single OT candidate for 'raised on the third day according to the Scriptures' (v.4), since no other text gives a third-day resurrection. Targumic/rabbinic tradition read Hosea 6:2 of resurrection, supporting availability. Contested because Paul never cites it explicitly and the LXX wording differs.

'The third day rise again' draws on Hosea's 'after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up,' the most cited prophetic warrant for third-day resurrection in early Christian and rabbinic exegesis. Luke makes the 'third day' a fixed kerygmatic formula (cf. 24:7, 21, 46), and Hosea supplies the schematic Scriptural pattern. Contested as the precise source but high recurrence.

'After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up' is the principal OT source for the 'third day' resurrection formula. The phrase's distinctive temporal marker matches 'on the third day he will rise again.' Second-Temple use of Hosea 6:2 for resurrection timing raises its plausibility.

'The third day be raised up' echoes 'on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him,' the OT text most plausibly underlying the recurrent 'third day' resurrection formula.

'the third day he will be raised up' (20:19) echoes 'on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him'; widely read as the scriptural background for the 'third day' resurrection formula.

'God raised him up the third day' resonates with 'on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.' A recurrent NT third-day intertext; figural/typological with moderate verbal touch.

'On the third day he will raise us up' is widely held to inform the 'on the third day he will rise again' formula of the passion predictions. The third-day vindication motif is a recognized Second-Temple resurrection backdrop. Medium volume; contested verbal link.

'After three days rise again' may echo Hosea's 'after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up.' The third-day-resurrection language is plausibly drawn from this oracle of restoration, a connection later interpreters made explicit.

'After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up' is the most likely scriptural source for 'on the third day he will rise again.' The third-day resurrection timing coheres with the formulaic passion predictions. Volume is moderate; the verbal 'third day' contact is notable.

'On the third day he will raise us up' — the 'third day' resurrection schema possibly informs Jesus' 'three days' beyond the Jonah figure alone. Contested as a contributing intertext.

'On the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.' 'The third day he will be raised up' may draw on this resurrection-on-the-third-day text, a candidate source for the early 'third day' formula.

'rise again' may glance at 'on the third day he will raise us up'; verbal contact is thin and the third-day motif is not stated here, so the link is faint and contested.

'On the third day' as a marker of restoration/raising ('on the third day he will raise us up that we may live before him') may color John's 'third day' at Cana, anticipating resurrection-glory language that returns at 2:19-22. Coherence with the chapter's later three-days-temple saying supports a faint thematic echo.

'After two days he will revive us' may color the deliberate 'he stayed there two days' (v40) before life/belief spreads, given John's symbolic use of time. Faint and contested.

The third-day raising ('after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up') is a candidate background for the conviction that Jesus 'must rise.' Faint and contested: John never cites Hosea, and the day-count is implicit, lowering Volume.

'After three days they found him' has occasionally been read against Hosea's 'on the third day he will raise us up,' a figural foreshadowing of the resurrection found-on-the-third-day. The three-days detail offers verbal contact, but the application is debated, so a contested faint echo.

'The third day be raised up' may echo Hosea's 'on the third day he will raise us up,' read messianically in later Jewish tradition. Verbal contact is suggestive but the third-day formula is multiply sourced, so contested and low volume.

'On the third day he will raise us up' may stand faintly behind 'the third day I complete my mission,' tying Jesus' goal to a resurrection-shaped 'third day.' Contested and low Volume; the numerical phrasing here is more idiomatic than citational.

Hosea's 'after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up' is the most plausible scriptural matrix for early Christian 'third day' resurrection language; though Mark does not say 'third day' here, the dawn-of-the-first-day raising participates in that pattern. Recurrence is high across the NT (1 Cor 15:4), but Mark 16's silence on explicit third-day phrasing keeps the volume low and the link contested.

The longer ending's notice that Jesus 'had risen early on the first day of the week' reasserts the third-day/restoration pattern crystallized in Hosea's revival oracle. The connection remains a low-volume conceptual echo, since the appended ending narrates rather than cites Scripture.

'After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up' — the chief priests' citation of Jesus' 'after three days I will rise' and their guarding 'until the third day' touch the third-day-resurrection schema, of which Hosea 6:2 is a primary OT antecedent.

'After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.' A type of death-and-resurrection-to-life that early Christian reading connected to Christ's raising; resonates with 6:4-5,8-9 union in death and resurrection. Faint and contested.
