He rose after being in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights as he prophesized. He rose on the 3rd day. << The problem with this line of reason is that the statements that Christ will rise or rose on the third day all refer to his dying, and rising on the third day. None of the twenty-something references to rising on the third day say anything about being in a tomb or being buried.

For example?

“and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” (Matthew 20:19)
