Study note
Setting — Peter addresses Cornelius and his household, concluding his eyewitness account of Jesus' ministry, death, and post-resurrection appearances.
The words — The verb ἤγειρεν (ēgeiren) means "raised up," with θεὸς (theos) explicitly named as the subject, while ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ (en tē tritē hēmera) literally reads "in the third day."
The thread — The resurrection event appears in Acts 13:30 and Acts 2:24, while 1 Peter 1:21 links the same divine act to the basis of Christian faith.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge God as the direct agent of Jesus' raising and to accept the testimony of those who physically interacted with Him afterward.
