For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will (John 5).

wisdom--The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death (Proverbs 13).

Elijah--Correct material belief by spiritual understanding, and Spirit will form you anew (Eddy, 1906, p. 425).

Elisha--Progress is born of experience.  It is the ripening of mortal man, through which the mortal is dropped for the immortal (Eddy, 1906, p. 296).

Jesus--He showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs (Acts 1).

Paul--Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city (Acts 14).
