Resurrection
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/find-me-all-of-the-biblical-ve-TzDqDepURESlPuXjX1FnUQ#2The resurrection of Jesus (distinct from general future resurrection) is mentioned over 40 times outside the four Gospels in the New Testament.
This excludes Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, focusing on Acts, Epistles, and Revelation; counts vary slightly by translation but center on Greek terms like anastasis (resurrection), egeirō (raised), and phrases like "raised from the dead." stpaulw

Acts and 1 Corinthians account for the bulk, often in preaching or doctrinal defenses. Total NT "resurrection" word is ~40-51, with Gospels ~24, leaving ~16-27 explicit, but broader phrasing pushes over 40. rsc.byu
