Since nobody's tackled this yet, I'll take a stab--that sometimes at least
evokes ripostes.
In view of Mark's second Passion Prediction: (9:31-- hOTI ... APOKTANQEIS
META TREIS hHMERAS ANASTHSETAI) one might simply put it as STAURWQEIS DE
ANASTHSETAI/EGERQHSETAI (the two verbs are synonymous).
In my view it would be unidiomatic to mimic the English construction with
verbal nouns, e.g. META DE THN STAURWSIN GINETAI hH ANASTASIS (although
that would be grammatically permissible); better might be a metonymous
usage: META DE TON STAURON hH ANASTASIS or articular infinitives: META DE
TO STAURWQHNAI TO ANASTHNAI/EGERQHNAI.
