Now, if it is proclaimed of Christ that he has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?
On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they would hear what he had to say about that another time.
(For Sadducees say there is no such thing as a resurrection, and that there is neither angel nor spirit, while Pharisees believe in both.)
Why do you all hold it incredible that God should raise the dead?
Whether, then, it was I or whether it was they, this we proclaim, and this you believed.
Console your hearts, and strengthen you to do and to say all that is right.
They have gone completely astray as regards the Truth; they say that a resurrection has already taken place, and so upset some people's faith.
