His resurrection is adduced as the chief argument in proof of his divinity. Did he raise himself from the dead?
Peter: He did not. God raised him. “Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ... whom God raised from the dead” ([Acts iv, 10]).
If Christ, then, did not rise from the dead by his own volition, was his resurrection any proof of his divinity? No more than the resurrection of Lazarus was proof of Lazarus’s divinity.
