Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
All Commentaries on Acts 2:24 Go To Acts 2
Interlinear Gloss
AD 1480
has broken the sorrows of Hell:
Either by His own resurrection or by the freeing of the dead.
for certainly it was impossible for him to be held by it:
Christ was not held fast by any necessity of death, but was "free among the dead": and therefore He abode a while in death, not as one held fast, but of His own will, just so long as He deemed necessary for the instruction of our faith.
