“…6.2 are posited as the sources of this claim, though Jon. 2 and others are sometimes suggested (Metzger 1957; Ellis 1957: 139; Lindars 1961: 61; Juel 1988: 129). The preceding discussion of similar generic citations, however, would point in a different direction.…”

This article examines 33 ‘generic’ citations of Israel’s scriptures in the NT, defined as passages containing an introductory formula or other overt reference to a source, but lacking any actual quoted text. Each passage (from the gospels, Acts and Pauline epistles) is examined in terms of its citation form and particular meaning in context, and then this broader pattern of ‘generic’ citation is compared with Second Temple citation practices. Having rarely been studied collectively, these citations provide interesting insight into how the NT authors draw upon the whole of the OT – without reference to specific prooftexts – to make assertions about Israel’s history, Christology, and the church. They should be given more consideration in the broader field of biblical intertextuality.

“…vi.1-2. 6 Metzger's article has been influential in encouraging other scholars' dismissal of a link between the third day and the Hebrew Scriptures. 7 So what does Metzger take to be the function of 'on the third day' in this pre-Pauline tradition?…”

“…When, therefore, Jesus is represented as emphasizing the importance of the third day after his death, and the early church was led to include this chronological notation in the apostolic kerygma, what may be meant to be conveyed is the assurance that he would be but a visitor in the house of the dead and not a permanent resident therein. 8 But the case is not closed. Against Metzger's assertion about the rabbis, Harvey McArthur cites several rabbinic references to Hosea 6.1-2 interpreted as referring to resurrection.…”

‘On the Third Day’

I Corinthians xv. 46 (' ...that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures') is part of a crucial witness to the Christian resurrection tradition since it is the earliest detailed statement about that event (mid-5os), and since analysis of the terminology suggests that the formulation is pre-Pauline even if not certainly from the Palestinian community. 1 But what precisely was the source of the phrase 'on the third day'? Was it derived from historical tradition about the resurrection or from exegesis of the Jewish Scriptures? Should the passage be paraphrased: 'Jesus rose from the dead in fulfilment of the Scriptures, and-as we remember-this occurred on the third day'? 2 Or, alternatively, should it be paraphrased: 'The Scriptures taught us that Jesus would be raised from the dead, and they taught us also that this would occur on the third day'? 3 If one begins with the assumption that the reference to the 'third day' was derived from memory of the event then there is a curious gap in the traditional account in the Gospels. For that tradition does not say when the resurrection itself took place. It affirms (a) that on Easter Sunday the tomb was discovered to be empty, and (b) that subsequently, on the same day, Jesus appeared to certain of the women or disciples. (Mark omits this second item unless one accepts xvi. 9 ff. as original.) For the present purpose it does not matter whether these two affirmations originated on Easter Sunday or at some later date. Neither of them can be turned directly into the statement
