Context of Acts 13:35

33Now he has done these things for us who are alive today. He has raised up Jesus to live again. We can read about this in the second Psalm. God says, “You are my Son. Today, I have become your Father.” 34God caused Jesus to live again so that nothing would destroy his body. He will not die again. This is what God said to our ancestors: “I will surely help you with good things, just like I promised to King David.” God also says this in another Psalm: “Your servant who loves you will not remain dead. You will not let anything destroy the body of your Holy One.” 36While David was alive, he served God as God wanted him to do. Then he died and men buried him next to his ancestors. So worms destroyed David's body. 37But as for Jesus, God caused him to become alive again. He did not die again and nothing destroyed his body.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-37Verses 32-37 The resurrection of Christ was the great proof of his being the Son of God. It was not possible he should be held by death, because he was the Son of God, and therefore had life in himself, which he could not lay down but with a design to take it again. The sure mercies of David are that everlasting life, of which the resurrection was a sure pledge; and the blessings of redemption in Christ are a certain earnest, even in this world. David was…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-37Paul reviewed how Jesus had been treated with shame, including an unjust sentence and death. But God raised Jesus from the dead, and many witnesses saw him. This message is good news, because through Jesus people can receive forgiveness of sins. But people must respond with faith, or they will face serious consequences.Read the comment
