Nope, the Gospels use no such word. Acts [4:10] mentions that He was raised by GOD (not that He rose); the rest of the references to His raising come strictly from +Paul (if you wish to count Acts as non-Pauline) and are always in the passive form, that He was raised by God and not that He rose.

This is clearly in contrast to our Creed (4th century AD) which says

Let this bother the sola scriptura superstitionists. The entire Trinitarian dogma is not to be found in the New Testament alone, strictly speaking. The Creed is a precise expression of the Christian faith.
