Steven:

The texts in question show the understanding Jesus has that he will suffer and that others will need to follow in that path. One can refer to a concept without having the term. That is what is taking place here.

 

I know of no specific 3 day prophecy that the New Testament used. What they did use were texts that pointed to death and exaltation. Here Isa 53 and Ps 16 were important. It is these little differences that are key to understanding that the texts did not make up the event.
