“Rise the Third Day”
Writing to the Corinthians, Paul said, “He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4; italics added). Paul is quoting a text that is nowhere to be found in the Old Testament of our day. Significantly, the Book of Mormon attributes this knowledge to Zenos, an Old Testament prophet (1 Nephi 19:10). This understanding was common among the Nephite people (see 2 Nephi 25:13).
