But God This phrase signifies a divine intervention that changes the course of events. In the Greek, "God" is "Theos," emphasizing the supreme deity's power and authority. The conjunction "but" indicates a contrast to the previous state of death, highlighting God's sovereignty and the divine plan that transcends human understanding. This intervention is a pivotal moment in Christian theology, underscoring the belief that God's will is ultimate and unassailable. raised Him from the dead releasing Him from the agony of death because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches Having loosed the pains of death.--The word for "pains" is the same as that for "sorrows" in Matthew 24:8 : literally, travail-pangs. The phrase was not uncommon in the LXX. version, but was apparently a mistranslation of the Hebrew for "cords," or "bands," of death. If we take the Greek word in its full meaning, the Resurrection is thought of as a new birth as from the womb of the grave. Because it was not possible. . . .--The moral impossibility was, we may say, two-fold. The work of the Son of Man could not have ended in a failure and death which would have given the lie to all that He had asserted of Himself. Its issue could not run counter to the prophecies which had implied with more or less clearness a victory over death. The latter, as the sequel shows, was the thought prominent in St. Peter's mind. Verse 24. - Raised for hath raised, A.V.; pangs for pains, A.V. Pangs. St. Luke follows the LXX., who render the מָוֶת or חֶבְלֵי of Psalm 18:5, 6; Psalm 116:3, by ὠδῖνες θανάτου, as if the Hebrew word were חֵבֶל, the pains or pangs of a woman in childbirth, whereas it really is חֶבֶל, a cord, as it is rendered in the margin of Psalm 18:5, meaning the snare of the fowler. The variation is very similar to that of the "fruit of our lips" in Hebrews 13:15, compared with the "calves of our lips" of Hosea 14:2. It is manifest that "loosed" applies better to cords than to pangs. It was not possible. Why, not possible?1. Because of the union of the Godhead and manhood in the one Person of Christ. 2. Because of God's character, which makes it impossible that one who trusts in him should be forsaken, or that God's Holy One should see corruption. 3. Because the Scripture, which cannot be broken, declared the resurrection of Christ. Greek [But]ὁ (ho) Article - Nominative Masculine Singular Strong's 3588: The, the definite article.
