is frequently used in the NT in the sense of "raising" (Active Voice), or "rising" (Middle and Passive Voices): (a) from sitting, lying, sickness, e.g., Matthew 2:14; 9:5,7,19; James 5:15; Revelation 11:1; (b) of causing to appear, or, in the Passive, appearing, or raising up so as to occupy a place in the midst of people, Matthew 3:9; 11:11; Mark 13:22; Acts 13:22 . It is thus said of Christ in Acts 13:23; cp. No. 1, (c); (c) of rousing, stirring up, or "rising" against, Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; (d) of "raising buildings," John 2:19,20; (e) of "raising or rising" from the dead; (1) of Christ, Matthew 16:21; and frequently elsewhere (but not in Phil., 2Thess., 1Tim., Titus, Jas., 2Pet., 1,2, 3John, and Jude); (2) of Christ's "raising" the dead, Matthew 11:5; Mark 5:41; Luke 7:14; John 12:1,9,17; (3) of the act of the disciples, Matthew 10:8; (4) of the resurrection of believers, Matthew 27:52; John 5:21; 1—Corinthians 15:15,16,29,32,35,42-44,52; 2—Corinthians 1:9; 4:14; of unbelievers, Matthew 12:42 (cp. Matthew 12:41 , No. 1).

a strengthened form of No. 3 (dia, "through," intensive), signifies "to rouse, to awaken from sleep." The Active Voice is not used intransitively. In Matthew 1:24 , RV, "Joseph arose from his sleep," the Passive participle is, lit., "being aroused." In Mark 4:39 (AV, "he arose," RV, "he awoke"), the lit. rendering is "he being awakened." In John 6:18 the imperfect tense of the Passive Voice is used, and the rendering should be, "the sea was being aroused." See AWAKE , No. 2.

"to become, to take place," is sometimes suitably translated "arise;" e.g., Matthew 8:24; Mark 4:37 , "there arose a great tempest." So of the arising of persection, Matthew 13:21; Mark 4:17; this might be translated "taketh place;" of a tumult, Matthew 27:24 , RV, "arising," for AV, "made;" of a flood, Luke 6:48; a famine, Luke 15:14; a questioning, John 3:25; a murmuring, Acts 6:1; a tribulation, Acts 11:19 (RV); a stir in the city, Acts 19:23; a dissension, Acts 23:7; a great clamor, Acts 23:9 . See BECOME.

"to go up, to ascend," is once rendered "arise" in the RV, Luke 24:38 , of reasonings in the heart; in Revelation 13:1 , RV, "coming up," for AV, "rise up," with reference to the beast; in Revelation 17:8 , AV, "ascend," for RV, "to come up;" in Revelation 19:3 , RV, "goeth up," for AV, "rose up." See CLIMB UP , COME , ENTER , GO , GROW , RISE , SPRING.

"to rise up together" (sun, "together," epi, "up," histemi, "to stand"), is used in Acts 16:22 , of the "rising up" of a multitude against Paul and Silas.

lit., "to go in" (eis, "in," erchomai, "to go"), "to enter," is once rendered "arose," metaphorically, with reference to a reasoning among the disciples which of them should be the greatest, Luke 9:46 . See COME , ENTER , GO.

"to arise," is used especially of things in the natural creation, e.g., "the rising" of the sun, moon and stars; metaphorically, of light, in Matthew 4:16 , "did spring up;" of the sun, Matthew 5:45; 13:6 (RV); Mark 4:6; James 1:11; in Mark 16:2 the RV has "when the sun was risen," keeping to the verb form, for the AV, "at the rising of;" of a cloud, Luke 12:54; of the day-star, 2—Peter 1:19; in Hebrews 7:14 metaphorically, of the Incarnation of Christ: "Our Lord hath sprung out of Judah," more lit., "Our Lord hath arisen out of Judah," as of the rising of the light of the sun.
