Never quite understood this

Acts 26:22-23(NKJV)

22Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come—

23that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

The part that has always confused me here is the fact that Jesus raised others from the dead so from that aspect He wasn't the first one raised from the dead.

Does it mean that He was the first one to go down and personally do battle with Satan and then come back from the dead on His own?  

Not sure.
