20 Bible Verses about Resurrection, Of The Dead

the graves opened, and the bodies of many saints who slept arose,

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good, shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation.

and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out. of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. the sea gave up the dead which were in it; death and the grave delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every one according to their works.

because he has fix'd the day, when he will judge in equity, by that man, whom he has appointed thereto: of which he has given full proof to all the world, by having raised him from the dead."

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet (for the trumpet shall sound) and the dead shall rise incorruptible; but as for us, we shall be changed.

for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and by the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet of God, resound the summons: they who died christians shall rise first:

I have the same expectations from the DEITY, which they themselves entertain, that of the resurrection both of the just and of the unjust.

When the son of man shall come in his majesty, accompanied with all his holy angels, he shall sit upon the throne of his glory. then all nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats.

Now if it has been declared, that Christ rose from the dead, how comes it, that some among you assert, "there is no resurrection of the dead?"

About that time the Sadducees, who say there is no future life, came and propos'd this question,

Then the Saducees, who deny the resurrection, came and asked him,

Afterwards some of the Pharisees, who deny there is any resurrection, accosted him with this question,

for the Sadducees maintain, there is neither resurrection, nor angel, or spirit, whereas the Pharisees acknowledge both: the clamour was great,

they have deserted the faith themselves, and debauch'd the faith of others, by maintaining, "the resurrection is already past."

there certain Epicurean and Stoick philosophers encountred him: "what does this mountebank mean?" said some: "he seems to proclaim some strange deitys," said others: because he talk'd to them of Jesus and the resurrection.

you may think it something incredible that God should raise the dead:

Jesus answered them, you are mistaken, for want of a true notion of the scriptures, and of the divine power. for in the other life after this, there will be no such thing as marriage; but they will be as the angels of God in heaven. now as to the state of life after death, have ye not read that expression of God himself,read more.
" I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not a benefactor to the dead, but to the living.

for they all married her. Jesus answered them, don't you see you are in a mistake, by being unacquainted with the scriptures, as well as with the power of God? for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither will marry, nor be given in marriage, but be immortal like the angels in heaven. and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"read more.
he is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: and therefore you greatly mistake the meaning.

Jesus answered, in this life men and women marry. but they, who shall be accounted worthy to obtain the resurrection to an eternal life, shall have no concern in marriage, as being immortal: for by the resurrection they will inherit a nature truely angelical and divine.read more.
now that the dead are raised, may be inferr'd from Moses's relation concerning the bush, where he stiles the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. for he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. they are all then alive with respect to him.

But some will say, how will the dead be raised? with what kind of body will they appear? foolish as you are, the grain you sow, is not revived except it die. and whatever you sow, you don't sow that body which shall afterwards appear, but only the bare grain of wheat, for instance, or of some other grain.read more.
but God gives it such a body, as he thinks fit, to every seed its peculiar body. All flesh is not of the same kind: but there is one kind that belongs to men, another to beasts, another to fishes, and another to birds. there are celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is of one kind, and the glory of the terrestrial of another. the glory of the sun is of one kind, the glory of the moon of another, and the glory of the stars still different; nay, one star differs from another star in glory. such will be the resurrection of the dead: the body is sown corruptible, it will be raised incorruptible. it is sown in dishonour, it will be raised in glory: it is sown in decay, it will be raised in power: it is sown an animal body, it will rise a spiritual body. there is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.
