Article 5: "HE DESCENDED INTO HELL. ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN"
As for the Son, he effects his own Resurrection by virtue of his divine power. Jesus announces that the Son of man will have to suffer much, die, and then rise.[516] Elsewhere he affirms explicitly: "I lay down my life, that I may take it again. . . I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again."[517] "We believe that Jesus died and rose again."[518]
