Does the Old Testament predict the resurrection of Jesus? The New Testament writers say yes.
In Acts 2:25-28 the Apostle Peter quotes from Psalm 16:8-11 which was written by David. Peter makes the point that David died and was not writing about himself, but was writing about his descendant who was Christ Jesus.
(Acts 2:27)"For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption." (ESV)
(Acts 2:31)"he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption." (ESV)
In Acts 13:32-41 the Apostle Paul quotes from Psalm 2:7, Isaiah 55:3, and Psalm 16:10 to prove the resurrection of Christ.
(Acts 13:33)"this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, You are my Son, today I have begotten you." (ESV)
(Acts 13:34)"And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David." (ESV)
(Acts 13:35)"Therefore he says also in another psalm, You will not let your Holy One see corruption." (ESV)
(Acts 13:36-37)"For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, but he whom God raised up did not see corruption." (ESV)
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4)"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures," (ESV)
In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 the Apostle Paul may have in mind Hosea 6:1-2 and Isaiah 53:10 or he may just mean the entire Old Testament points to Christ.
