Acts 13:26-38

26“Brethren, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of 1this salvation has been sent.

27For those who live in Jerusalem, and their 2rulers, 3recognizing neither Him nor the 4utterances of 5the prophets which are 6read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him.

28And though they found no ground for putting Him to death, they 7asked Pilate that He be 8executed.

29When they had 9carried out all that was written concerning Him, 10they took Him down from 11the 12cross and 13laid Him in a tomb.

30But God 14raised Him from the dead;

31and for many days 15He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now 16His witnesses to the people.

32And we 17preach to you the good news of 18the promise made to the fathers,

33that God has fulfilled this promise 19to our children in that He 20raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘21You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’

34As for the fact that He 22raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘23I will give you the holy and 24sure blessings of David.’

35Therefore He also says in another Psalm, ‘25You will not 26allow Your 27Holy One to 28undergo decay.’

36For 29David, after he had 30served 31the purpose of God in his own generation, 32fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and 33underwent decay;

37but He whom God 34raised did not 35undergo decay.

38Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that 36through 37Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
