Beverly,
Presumably when he last awoke from sleep.
It simply means "he got up again". We've loaded "rose" with a lot of resurrection connotations but fundamentally it simply refers to standing. This comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:14,
“For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:14, RSV2CE)

This is the same verb in Greek used in Mark,
“And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.”
(Mark 1:35, RSV2CE) |
