YHWH (Jesus Father) did. Dead cannot do anything, and God does not die.

In his reply as recorded in John 2:19-22, Jesus never said that he would raise himself from the dead; that idea has to be assumed and read into what Jesus said. What he did say is that he would raise his body. Jesus did indeed raise his body, especially as seen by his appearances in the locked room. Jesus himself, however, had to first be raised from the dead by his God and Father before Jesus could raise his body.

Here is another explanation from Peter:

1 Peter 3:18 (New International Version)
18For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,
