anastasis denotes resurrection from the dead, and in one context the rising of many in Israel.

The term predominantly denotes resurrection from the dead, whether Christ’s resurrection, the resurrection of the dead generally, or a resurrection identified by its outcome or setting. A rare use describes the rising of many in Israel rather than resurrection from the dead.

1. Resurrection from the dead · dominant

   This is the usual use in clauses concerning the dead being raised: in 1 Corinthians 15:42 the APB renders, “the resurrection of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.” It also names Christ’s resurrection in Acts 2:31 and the resurrection expected for both the just and unjust in Acts 24:15; John 5:29 distinguishes a resurrection of life from a resurrection of judgment.

2. Rising of many in Israel · rare

   In Luke 2:34, the accusative singular occurs in Simeon’s statement that the child is appointed “for the fall and rising of many in Israel.” The clause pairs this rising with “fall” and does not identify it as resurrection from the dead.

   Luke 2:34

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly presents the term with “resurrection,” including “resurrection of the dead” and “his resurrection.” In Luke 2:34 it renders the surrounding clause with “rising”; These renderings indicate the clauses’ presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
