Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g386 Greek: anastasis

Resurrection:

denotes

(I) "a raising up," or "rising" (ana, "up," and histemi, "to cause to stand"), Luk 2:34, "the rising up;" the AV "again" obscures the meaning; the Child would be like a stone against which many in Israel would stumble while many others would find in its strength and firmness a means of their salvation and spiritual life;

(II) of "resurrection" from the dead,

(a) of Christ, Act 1:22; 2:31; 4:33; Rom 1:4; 6:5; Phl 3:10; 1Pe 1:3; 3:21; by metonymy, of Christ as the Author of "resurrection," Jhn 11:25;

(b) of those who are Christ's at His Parousia (see COMING), Luk 14:14, "the resurrection of the just;" Luk 20:33, 35, 36; Jhn 5:29 (1st part), "the resurrection of life;" Jhn 11:24; Act 23:6; 24:15 (1st part); 1Cr 15:21, 42; 2Ti 2:18; Hbr 11:35 (2nd part), see RAISE, Note (3); Rev 20:5, "the first resurrection;" hence the insertion of "is" stands for the completion of this "resurrection," of which Christ was "the firstfruits;" Rev 20:6;

(c) of "the rest of the dead," after the Millennium (cp. Rev 20:5); Jhn 5:29 (2nd part), "the resurrection of judgment;" Act 24:15 (2nd part), "of the unjust;"

(d) of those who were raised in more immediate connection with Christ's "resurrection," and thus had part already in the first "resurrection," Act 26:23; Rom 1:4 (in each of which "dead" is plural; see Mat 27:52);

(e) of the "resurrection" spoken of in general terms, Mat 22:23; Mar 12:18; Luk 20:27; Act 4:2; 17:18; 23:8; 24:21; 1Cr 15:12, 13; Hbr 6:2;

(f) of those who were raised in OT times, to die again, Hbr 11:35 (1st part), lit., "out of resurrection."

2 Strong's Number: g1815 Greek: exanastasis

Resurrection:

ek, "from" or "out of," and No. 1, Phl 3:11, followed by ek, lit., "the out-resurrection from among the dead." For the significance of this see ATTAIN, No. 1.

3 Strong's Number: g1454 Greek: egersis

Resurrection:

"a rousing" (akin to egeiro, "to arouse, to raise"), is used of the "resurrection" of Christ, in Mat 27:53.
