The word "Trinity" may not be in the Bible, but evidence for the Trinity can be found littered throughout it. In the image above, you see a clear example. Who raised Jesus from the dead?
Romans 10:9 summarises the Gospel like this: "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." The answer, then, is that God raised Him from the dead. However, in a dispute with the Jews in John 2, Jesus tells them "destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up" (v19). Verse 21 clarifies for us that Jesus was speaking about His body.
Now, if the Gospel requires that we believe God raised Jesus from the dead, and yet Jesus predicted it would be He that raised His own body from the dead, the only logical conclusion is that Jesus, Himself, is God. Any other conclusion grants a mere human being equal authority with God over life and death.
