This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Translate as Greek, “After the three days and an half.”
the Spirit of life - the same which breathed life into Israel’s dry bones, Eze 37:10, Eze 37:11 (see on Eze 37:10, Eze 37:11), “Breath came into them.” The passage here, as there, is closely connected with Israel’s restoration as a nation to political and religious life. Compare also concerning the same, Hos 6:2, where Ephraim says, “After two days will He revive us; in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.”
into - so B and Vulgate. But A reads (Greek, “en autois”), “(so as to be) IN them.”
stood upon their feet - the very words in Eze 37:10, which proves the allusion to be to Israel’s resurrection, in contrast to “the times of the Gentiles” wherein these “tread under foot the holy city.”
great fear - such as fell on the soldiers guarding Christ’s tomb at His resurrection (Mat 28:4), when also there was a great earthquake (Rev 11:2).
saw - Greek, “beheld.”
