A Prophetic Debate
Scholars are divided on this verse. Some, like Albert Barnes, see it as a clear and direct prophecy of Jesus Christ's resurrection on the third day. Others, including Charles Ellicott and John Calvin, argue it's more likely a Hebrew idiom for a short period, promising Israel's restoration after suffering. Calvin suggests that while not a direct prophecy, Christ's resurrection is the ultimate fulfillment of this principle of revival after death.
