Context of Acts 13:35

33that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. 34But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David. Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption. 36For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption. 37But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
