Study note
Setting — Two men in the empty tomb address the women who came to anoint the body, immediately after the women fell prostrate in terror. The moment is the first announcement of the resurrection to the disciples.
The words — ἠγέρθη (ēgerthē), aorist passive of ἐγείρω, "he was raised up" — a single completed act in passive voice, indicating the action was done to Him by another.
The thread — The command "remember" points back to Jesus' own predictions in Galilee: Matthew 17:22, Mark 8:31, Luke 9:22, where He foretold His delivery, crucifixion, and third-day resurrection.
Why it lands — The verse treats the resurrection not as a surprise but as a debt already owed by Jesus' own words; it asks the reader to account for why they missed what was already said.
