Acts 13:26-37

Paul and Barnabas at Antioch in Pisidia

26 "Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you v who fear God, to us has been sent w the message of x this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because y they did not recognize him nor understand z the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, a fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And b though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, c they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when d they had carried out all that was written of him, e they took him down from f the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But g God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days h he appeared to those i who had come up with him j from Galilee to Jerusalem, k who are now l his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news m that what God promised to the fathers,

33 n this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
o "'You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.'

34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, p q no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
"'I will give you r the holy and sure blessings of David.'

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm,
s "'You will not let your Holy One see corruption.'

36 For David, after he had t served the purpose of God in his own generation, u fell asleep and v was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom w God raised up did not see corruption.
