A number of translations render this:

he must rise again from the dead (KJ, NASB, Rheim's, etc.).

Where do they get the "again"?  When was Jesus raised previously from the
dead?  Is this simply King James lingo that somehow managed to survive in
certain modern translations?  Is the prefix AN- to be taken like ANWQEN
whereby the meaning can be  "again" (versus "from above")?
