In reality, all three members of the trinity raised Christ from the dead. Such is a great proof that there IS a trinity.

1 Thessalonians 1:10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Romans 8:11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

John 2:19-22

19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

20The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken

Yeah, well, 1 Thess 1:10 and Rom 8:11 actually speak of "he" who sent the Son and the Spirit, i.e. "God." +Paul is decidedly speaking of God as someone other than Christ.

That goes for John as well, as you quote, "After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken."

But it also tells us that God did not "give" them faith; He showed them a miracle and only then they believed! +John tells us that the Apostles really did not believe Christ" until he "was" resurrected! +Thomas is a living proof of that.

One more thing, in Matthew 17, +John and +Peter see a transfigured Christ on Mt. Tabor; they now know that He is divine. Yet +Peter betrays Him not once but thrice! Don't you find that strange? I do.

And I thought that the OT righteous were bond slaves of death and were in the Hades until Christ came to rescue them after the crucifixion. Yet both of them appear on Mt. Tabor! Don't you find that strange? I do.
