Interpreters generally conceive these words to have reference unto the two days that Christ lay in the grave;1 and Luther saith that this is the Scripture which Paul speaks of in 1 Cor. 15.4. That Christ rose the third day according to the Scripture; what Scripture? why this, the third day we shall live in ⟨p. 539⟩his sight; though the text Notes the confidence which repenting Israel had in Gods mercy towards them, yet hath it reference also unto Christ, as if they should say, our straits and miseries may be great and we may lie in them a while, so did Christ, but he was raised the third day and so shall we. Mr. Calvin 2saith that God gave a famous and memorable example of Israels mercy after their captivity by Christs rising from the grave, and this may well be meant of Christ as that Scripture shows, Hosea, 11.1. When Israel was a child then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt: Who would have thought that this had meant Christ, but that the Scripture applies it unto Christ, in Mat. 2.15. And he departed into Egypt, until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled &c. How darkly was Christ shadowed out in the old Testament? as by Jonah in the Whales belly three days: Oh what cause have we to bless God who lives in the times of the Gospel where Christ is manifested so clearly? what dark and mystical intimations had they of Christ in those days, this was one of the clearest, and that of Jonah in the Whales belly.
