What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
Now this had a stronger claim upon belief, as having actually come to pass: but since he alone saw Christ, he again fetches proof of it from the prophets. And see how he does not discourse alike in the court of justice, and in the assembly of his own people; there indeed he says, "ye slew Him:" but here no such thing, that he might not kindle their anger more: but he shows the same thing, by saying, "Whether the Christ was to suffer." He so frees them from accusations: for the prophets, he says, say this. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Having risen first from the dead." Jesus was the first to rise and no longer dies, whereas those raised by Him or by His disciples died again in expectation of the future general resurrection.
