Acts 13:27-37

27For those who live in Jerusalem, and their 1rulers, 2recognizing neither Him nor the 3utterances of 4the prophets which are 5read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him.

28And though they found no ground for putting Him to death, they 6asked Pilate that He be 7executed.

29When they had 8carried out all that was written concerning Him, 9they took Him down from 10the 11cross and 12laid Him in a tomb.

30But God 13raised Him from the dead;

31and for many days 14He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now 15His witnesses to the people.

32And we 16preach to you the good news of 17the promise made to the fathers,

33that God has fulfilled this promise 18to our children in that He 19raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘20You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’

34As for the fact that He 21raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘22I will give you the holy and 23sure blessings of David.’

35Therefore He also says in another Psalm, ‘24You will not 25allow Your 26Holy One to 27undergo decay.’

36For 28David, after he had 29served 30the purpose of God in his own generation, 31fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and 32underwent decay;

37but He whom God 33raised did not 34undergo decay.
