Acts 13:14-41

14AndG1161 fromG575 PergaG4011, theyG846 traveled inlandG1330G3854 toG1519 PisidianG4099 AntiochG490, whereG2532 they enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 synagogueG4864 on theG3588 SabbathG4521G2250 and sat downG2523. 15AfterG3326 theG3588 readingG320 from theG3588 LawG3551 andG2532 theG3588 ProphetsG4396, theG3588 synagogue leadersG752 sent wordG649 toG4314 themG846: “BrothersG435G80, ifG1487 you haveG1510G1722G4771 aG5100 wordG3056 of encouragementG3874 forG4314 theG3588 peopleG2992, please speakG3004.”

PaulG3972 stood upG450, motionedG2678 withG3588 his handG5495, and began to speakG2036: “MenG435 of IsraelG2475 andG2532 you Gentiles whoG3588 fearG5399 GodG2316, listenG191 to me! 17TheG3588 GodG2316 ofG3778 theG3588 peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474 choseG1586 ourG1473 fathersG3962. He made them into a greatG5312 peopleG2992 duringG1722 their stayG3940 inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 withG3326 an upliftedG5308 armG1023 He ledG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 that land. 18He endured their conductG5159G846 forG5550 aboutG5613 forty yearsG5063 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048. 19AndG2532 having vanquishedG2507 sevenG2033 nationsG1484 inG1722 CanaanG5477, He gave theirG846 landG1093 to His people as an inheritanceG2624. 20All this took about 450G5071G2532G4004 yearsG2094.

AfterG3326 thisG3778, God gaveG1325 them judgesG2923 until the timeG2193 of SamuelG4545 theG3588 prophetG4396. 21ThenG2547 the people asked forG154 a kingG935, andG2532 GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 SaulG4549 sonG5207 of KishG2797, fromG1537 the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, who ruled fortyG5062 yearsG2094. 22After removingG3179 Saul, He raised upG1453 DavidG1138 asG1519 theirG846 kingG935 andG2532 testifiedG2036G3140 about him: ‘I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 son of JesseG2421 a manG435 afterG2596 MyG1473 own heartG2588; he will carry outG4160 MyG1473 willG2307 in its entiretyG3956.’1

23FromG575 theG3588 descendantsG4690 of thisG3778 man, GodG2316 has broughtG71 to IsraelG2474 the SaviorG4990 JesusG2424, asG2596 He promisedG1860. 24BeforeG4253G4383 theG3588 arrivalG1529 ofG846 Jesus, JohnG2491 preachedG4296 a baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474. 25AsG5613 JohnG2491 was completingG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG2036, ‘WhoG5101 do you supposeG5282 IG1473 amG1510? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 that One. ButG235 there isG2400 One comingG2064 afterG3326 meG1473 whoseG3739 sandalsG5266G3588G4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to untieG3089.’2

26BrothersG435G80, childrenG5207 of AbrahamG11G1085, andG2532 you Gentiles whoG4771 fearG5399 GodG2316, it is to usG1473 that thisG3778 messageG3056 ofG3588 salvationG4991 has been sentG1821. 27TheG3588 people ofG1722 JerusalemG2419 andG2532 theirG846 rulersG758 did not recognizeG50 Jesus, yetG2532 in condemningG2919 Him they fulfilledG4137 theG3588 wordsG5456 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 thatG3588 are readG314 everyG3956 SabbathG4521. 28AndG2532 though they foundG2147 noG3367 groundG156 for a death sentenceG2288, they askedG154 PilateG4091 to have Him executedG337G846.

29

WhenG5613 they had carried outG5055 allG3956 thatG3588 was writtenG1125 aboutG4012 HimG846, they took Him downG2507 fromG575 theG3588 treeG3586 and laidG5087 Him inG1519 a tombG3419. 30ButG1161 GodG2316 raisedG1453 HimG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, 31and forG1909 manyG4119 daysG2250 He was seenG3708 by those whoG3588 had accompaniedG4872 HimG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1519 JerusalemG2419. They areG1510 nowG3568 HisG846 witnessesG3144 toG4314 our peopleG2992.

32And nowG2532 weG1473 proclaim to you the good newsG2097G4771: What God promisedG1860G1096 our fathersG3962 33He has fulfilledG1603 forG3588 usG1473, theirG846 childrenG5043, by raising up JesusG450G2424. AsG2532G5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 theG3588 secondG1208 PsalmG5568:

34

In factG3754, God raisedG450 HimG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, neverG3371 to seeG3195G5290G1519 decayG1312. As He has saidG2046G3779:

35SoG1360 alsoG2532, He saysG3004 inG1722 anotherG2087 Psalm:

36ForG1063 when DavidG1138 had servedG5256 God’sG3588G2316 purposeG1012 in his ownG2398 generationG1074, he fell asleepG2837. His body was buriedG4369 withG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962 andG2532 sawG3708 decayG1312. 37ButG1161 theG3739 One whomG3588 GodG2316 raised from the deadG1453 did not seeG3756G3708 decayG1312.

38ThereforeG3767 let it beG1510 knownG1110 to youG4771, brothersG435G80, thatG3754 throughG1223 Jesus the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 is proclaimedG2605 to youG4771. 39ThroughG1722 HimG3778 everyoneG3956 whoG3588 believesG4100 is justifiedG1344 fromG575 everythingG3956 from whichG3739 you could notG3756G1410 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. 40Watch outG991, thenG3767, thatG3588 what was spokenG3361G2046 byG1722 theG3588 prophetsG4396 does not happenG1904 to you:
