Matthew 28:6

He is not here, for he has been raised, ¹  just as he said. Come and see the place where he ²  was lying.

Mt 12:40; Mt 16:21; Mt 17:9,23; Mt 20:19; Mt 26:31,32; Mt 27:63; Mr 8:31; Mr 16:6; Lu 24:6-8; Lu 24:12; Lu 24:23,44; Joh 2:19; Joh 10:17; Joh 20:4-9

¹ tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.

² tc Expansions on the text, especially when the Lord is the subject, are a common scribal activity. In this instance, since the subject is embedded in the verb, three major variants have emerged to make the subject explicit: ὁ κύριος (Jo kurio", “the Lord”; A C D L W 0148 Ë^1,13 Ï lat), τὸ σῶμα τοῦ κυρίου (to swma tou kuriou, “the body of the Lord”; 1424 pc), and ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsou", “Jesus”; Φ). The reading with no explicit subject, however, is superior on both internal and external grounds, being supported by א B Θ 33 892* pc co.
