Context of 1 Corinthians 15:4

2and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 6Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:4

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4And that he was buried - That is, evidently according to the Scriptures; see Isaiah 53:9. And that he rose again the third day … - That is, that he should rise from the dead was foretold in the Scriptures. It is not of necessity implied that it was predicted that he should rise “on the third day,” but that he should rise from the dead.
