Answer 2

2 Kings 13:21 Raising of the dead man at the tomb of Elisha.

John 11:43-44 The raising of Lazarus.

Acts 9:40-41 The raising of Tabitha.

Acts 20:9-12 The raising of Eutychus.

Luke 7:11-17 Widow's son raised during funeral

And Jesus Himself

Answer 3

IN the Old Testament Elisha the prophet did this. In the New Testament Jesus did this on more than one occasion. Peter also raised Dorcas in Acts.

Another answer:Elijah raised a widow's son (1 Kings 17)

Elisha raised the son of a Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4)

A dead man was restored to life at the touch of Elisha's bones (2 Kings 13:21)

Jesus raised Jairus' daughter (Matthew 9), the son of a widow from Nain (Luke 7), and Lazarus of Bethany (John 11)

Peter raised Dorcas (aka Tabitha - Acts 9)

Paul restored Eutychus to life (Acts 20)

Answer 4

1. Jairus' Daughter (Mark 5:35-43)
2. Lazarus (John 11:43, 44)
3. And of course Jesus himself also:
4. the son of the widow on Nain (Luke 7:11-15).
5. Eutychus (Acts 20:7-12)
6. Tabitha (Acts 9:36-42)

And in the Old Testament:

-Elijah resurrected the widow's son (1 Kings 17:22-24)

-Elisha resurrected the son of the Shunamite woman (2 Kings 4:32-37)

-the dead man who touched Elisha's bones (2 Kings 13:20, 21)

Answer 5

Yes. In Luke 7 you can read the story of the young man, the only son of a widow woman, whom Jesus raised him from the dead.

And perhaps the most well known story here, is when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, (John 11)

But Jesus raised others from the dead whose names are not mentioned, and this work was a routine portion of his ministry as he said in Matthew 11.5 -

"The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."

Answer 6

You will find the dry bones mentioned in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37

The bones represent people who have either left of never learned the word of our Father (bionically illiterate). They begin to come to life when they hear the word taught chapter for chapter and verse for verse in truth....

Answer 7

Ezekiel chapter 37 talks of a valley of bones, upon which Ezekiel was commanded by God to prophesy, resulting in the bones being covered in flesh and then rising up.

A somewhat similar account is given in Matthew 27:52-23, which speaks of the graves being opened at the very moment Jesus died, and of the many bodies of the saints rising up and walking into Jerusalem, where they were seen by many. The author of Matthew often used images from the Old Testament, and this may be the case here.

This tradition was entirely unknown to the other gospel authors, and no one in Jerusalem ever wrote of seeing cadavers walking the streets, so it is probably an imaginative element in Matthew's Gospel. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says the author was demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous.

Answer 8

Jesus raises Lazurus from the dead. Also, Jesus raised from the dead three days after he died on the cross.

Answer 9

John 20:2

Answer 10
