What happened to Jesus after his death? Perhaps the best (short) answer is —

On the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.[1]

“According to the Scriptures” (κατὰ τὰς γραφὰς) means both what the Gospels describe and what other Scriptures prophesy (Hebrew and deuterocanonical books) or proclaim (the Epistles).
