SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:4
y que fue sepultado, y que resucit al tercer día, conforme a las Escrituras;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And that he was buried , etc.] That is, according to the Scriptures; for as he died and rose again according to the Scriptures, he was buried according to them; which speak of his being in hell, in sheol, in the grave, and of his making his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, ( Psalm 16:10 Isaiah 53:9) and which had their accomplishment through Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man, who begged the body of Jesus, wrapped in linen, and laid it in his own new tomb. And besides these Scripture prophecies of his burial, Jonahs being three days and three nights in the whales belly was a type of it, and according to which our Lord himself foretold it, ( Matthew 12:40). Now since this was prophesied of, and typified, and had its actual accomplishment, it was very proper for the apostle to take notice of it, both to confirm the certainty of Christs death, and the truth of his resurrection, which his death and burial are mentioned, in order to lead on to, and next follows: and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures : that he should rise again from the dead was very plainly hinted or expressed in several prophecies which speak of the rising of his dead body, of its not being left in the grave so long as to see corruption; and which therefore could not be in it more than three days; and of his lifting up his head after he had drank of the brook by the way; of his ascension to heaven, and session at the right hand of God, which suppose his resurrection, ( Isaiah 26:19 Psalm 16:10) ( Psalm 68:18 110:1,7). And that he should rise again the third day, is not only suggested in ( Hosea 6:2) but was prefigured by the deliverance of Isaac on the third day after Abraham had given him up for dead, from whence he received him, in a figure of Christs resurrection; and by Jonahs deliverance out of the whales belly, after he had been in it three days. The Jews take a particular notice of the third day as remarkable for many things they observe f315 , as of the third day Abraham lift up his eyes, ( Genesis 22:4) of the third day of the tribes, ( Genesis 42:18) of the third day of the spies, ( Joshua 2:16) of the third day of the giving of the law, ( Exodus 19:16) of the third day of Jonah, (Jonah 1:17) of the third day of them that came out of the captivity, ( Ezra 8:15) of the third day of the resurrection of the dead, as it is written, ( Hosea 6:2) after two days will he revive us, in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. From which passage, it is clear, that they under stood the prophecy in Hosea of the resurrection of the dead; and it is observable, that among the remarkable third days they take notice of, are the two instances of Isaacs and Jonahs deliverances, which were Scripture types of Christs resurrection. From which observations they establish this as a maxim f316 , that God does not leave the righteous in distress more than three days.
That Christ did rise again from the dead, in pursuance of those prophecies and types, the apostle afterwards proves by an induction of particular instances of persons who were eyewitnesses of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The word resurrection, usually points out our existence beyond the grave. Of the apostle's doctrine not a trace can be found in all the teaching of philosophers. The doctrine of Christ's death an resurrection, is the foundation of Christianity. Remove this, and all our hopes for eternity sink at once. And it is by holding this trut firm, that Christians stand in the day of trial, and are kept faithfu to God. We believe in vain, unless we keep in the faith of the gospel This truth is confirmed by Old Testament prophecies; and many saw Christ after he was risen. This apostle was highly favoured, but he always had a low opinion of himself, and expressed it. When sinner are, by Divine grace, turned into saints, God causes the remembrance of former sins to make them humble, diligent, and faithful. He ascribes to Divine grace all that was valuable in him. True believers, though no ignorant of what the Lord has done for, in, and by them, yet when the look at their whole conduct and their obligations, they are led to fee that none are so worthless as they are. All true Christians believ that Jesus Christ, and him crucified, and then risen from the dead, in the substance of Christianity. All the apostles agreed in thi testimony; by this faith they lived, and in this faith they died.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
4. Rose (eghgertai). Rev., correctly, hath been raised. Died and was buried are in the aorist tense. The change to the perfect marks the abiding state which began with the resurrection. He hath been raised and still lives.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
15:4 {And that he was buried} (kai hoti etafe). Note hoti repeated before each of the four verbs as a separate item. Second aorist passive indicative of qaptw, old verb, to bury. this item is an important detail as the Gospels show. {And that he hath been raised} (kai hoti egegertai). Perfect passive indicative, not egerqe like {rose} of the King James' Version. There is reason for this sudden change of tense. Paul wishes to emphasize the permanence of the resurrection of Jesus. He is still risen. {On the third day} (tei hemerai tei tritei). Locative case of time. Whether Paul had seen either of the Gospels we do not know, but this item is closely identified with the fact of Christ's resurrection. We have it in Peter's speech (#Ac 10:40) and Jesus points it out as part of prophecy (#Lu 24:46). The other expression occasionally found "after three days" (#Mr 10:34) is merely free vernacular for the same idea and not even #Mt 12:40 disturbs it. See on Lu 24:1 for record of the empty tomb on the first day of the week (the third day).
