Raise (Up):

for the various applications of which see ARISE, No. 1, is translated "to raise or raise up,"

(a) of the resurrection of the dead by Christ, Jhn 6:39, 40, 44, 54;

(b) of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, Act 2:24 (for ver. 30 see RV, kathizo, "to set," as in the best texts); 2:32; 13:34, see (c) below; Act 17:31;

(c) of "raising" up a person to occupy a place in the midst of a nation, said of Christ, Act 3:26; 7:37; 13:33, RV, "raised up Jesus," not here by resurrection from the dead, as the superfluous "again" of the AV would suggest; this is confirmed by the latter part of the verse, which explains the "raising" up as being by way of His incarnation, and by the contrast in ver. 34, where stress is laid upon His being "raised" from the dead, the same verb being used:

(d) of "raising" up seed, Mat 22:24;

(e) of being "raised" from natural sleep, Mat 1:24, AV, "being raised" (RV, "arose"); here some mss. have diegeiro, "to arouse completely;" see ARISE, No. 4.

Note: For the contrast between No. 1 and No. 2 see ARISE, No. 3 (parag. 2).

"to raise together" (sun, "with," and No. 1), is used of the believer's spiritual resurrection with Christ. Eph 2:6; Passive Voice in Col 2:12, RV, "ye were... raised (with Him)," AV, "ye are risen;" so Col 3:1.

Notes:

(1) In Act 13:50, AV, epegeiro, "to rouse up, excite," is translated "raised" (RV, "stirred up," as in AV and RV in Act 14:2).

(2) In Act 24:12, poieo, to make, is used with epistasis, a collection of people, and translated "stirring up (a crowd)," RV, lit., 'making a collection (of a crowd)'; some mss. have episustasis, a resurrection, preceded by ex (i.e., ek), "out of, or by," instrumental, is translated "raised to life again" (a paraphrase), RV, "by a resurrection."
