Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead, х en (G1722) too (G3588) Ieesou (G2424)] - rather, 'preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.' It was not the resurrection from the dead as a doctrine which they insisted on, but the fact that Jesus had risen from the dead; but as the doctrine followed irresistibly from the fact, the enmity of this sect against the preachers was immediately aroused. Alexander properly calls attention to the emphatic form here employed х teen (G3588) anastasin (G386) teen (G3588) ek (G1537) nekroon (G3498): cf. Luke 20:35] - 'the resurrection, that from the dead,' as expressing a rising very different from anything which the Gentile readers of this book would ever dream of.
