[B-Greek] Luke 24.7 rising "again"

Perhaps if we think of it as when someone first lived, they originally rose
or stood up. When they die, they are brought low. When they become alive
*again* they also rise or stand *again*. Same as re-surrection (re + surgere
= rise again).

Seems to not be too redundant to me :)
