When did Jesus rise from the dead, and according to what?

Les teaches that Jesus had to be genuinely dead to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was dead; this was not tomfoolery or beguiling. He was dead three days and three nights in the tomb, and then He arose again the third day, according to the Scriptures. Les emphasizes that the Sovereign God was in complete control. The Old Testament writers lived and were real flesh and blood; their writings were preserved in cuneiform, clay tablets, and other forms, and were written 1,000, 1,500, or 2,000 years before Christ came. David wrote in the Psalms a perfect picture of the crucifixion and, around 1,000 B.C., concerning His resurrection in veiled language that the apostle later brought into the open. Thus the Gospel came about according to the Scriptures, and that same Gospel is what Paul received and took to Corinth. In chapter 11, Paul had instituted these things among the believers, who met in homes rather than huge edifices.
