14But goingG1330 on from PergaG4011, they arrivedG3854 at 1PisidianG4099 2AntiochG490, and on 3the SabbathG4521 dayG2250 they wentG2064 into 4the synagogueG4864 and satG2523 downG2523. 15AfterG3326 5the readingG320 of the LawG3551 and 6the ProphetsG4396 7the synagogueG752 officialsG752 sentG649 to them, sayingG3004, “BrethrenG435G80, ifG1487 you have anyG5100 wordG3056 of exhortationG3874 for the peopleG2992, sayG3004 it.” 16PaulG3972 stoodG450 up, and 8motioningG2678 with his handG5495 saidG3004,

“MenG435 of IsraelG2475, and 9you who fearG5399 GodG2316, listenG191: 17The GodG2316 of thisG3778 peopleG2992 IsraelG2274 10choseG1586 our fathersG3962 and 1112madeG5312 the peopleG2992 greatG5312 duringG1722 their stayG3940 in the landG1093 of EgyptG125, and with an upliftedG5308 armG1023 13He ledG1806 them out from it. 18For 14a periodG5550 of aboutG5613 fortyG5066 yearsG5066 15He putG5159 up with them in the wildernessG2048. 1916When He had destroyedG2507 17sevenG2033 nationsG1484 in the landG1093 of CanaanG5477, He 18distributedG2624 their landG1093 as an inheritanceG2624--all of which took 19aboutG5613 fourG5071 hundredG5071 and fiftyG4004 yearsG2094. 20AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 He 20gaveG1325 them judgesG2923 untilG2193 21SamuelG4545 the prophetG4396. 21ThenG2532 they 22askedG154 for a kingG935, and GodG2316 gaveG1325 them 23SaulG4549 the sonG5207 of KishG2797, a manG435 of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, for fortyG5065 yearsG2094. 22AfterG2596 He had 24removedG3179 him, He raisedG1453 up DavidG1160 to be their kingG935, concerning whomG3739 He alsoG2532 testifiedG3140 and saidG3004, ‘25I have foundG2147 DavidG1160 the son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 My heartG2588, whoG3739 will doG4160 allG3956 My 26willG2307.’ 2327From the descendantsG4690 of thisG3778 manG3778, 28accordingG2596 to promiseG1860, GodG2316 has broughtG71 to IsraelG2274 29a SaviorG4990, JesusG2424, 24after 30JohnG2491 had proclaimedG4296 beforeG4253 31His comingG4383G1529 a 32baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2274. 25And whileG5613 JohnG2491 33was completingG4137 his courseG1408, 34he kept sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 do you supposeG5282 that I amG1510? I amG1510 not He. But beholdG2400, one is comingG2064 afterG3326 me the sandalsG5266 of whoseG3739 feetG4228 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to untieG3089.’

26“BrethrenG435G80, sonsG5207 of Abraham’sG11 familyG1085, and thoseG3588 amongG1722 you who fearG5399 GodG2316, to us the messageG3056 of 35thisG3778 salvationG4991 has been sentG1821. 27For thoseG3588 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and their 36rulersG758, 37recognizingG50 neither Him norG2532 the 38utterancesG5456 of 39the prophetsG4396 which are 40readG314 everyG3956 SabbathG4521, fulfilledG4137 these by condemningG2919 Him. 28And though they foundG2147 noG3367 groundG156 for putting Him to death, they 41askedG154 PilateG4091 that He be 42executedG337. 29WhenG5613 they had 43carriedG5055 out allG3956 that was writtenG1125 concerningG4012 Him, 44they tookG2507 Him downG2507 from 45the 46crossG3586 and 47laidG5087 Him in a tombG3419. 30But GodG2316 48raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498; 31and for manyG4183 daysG2250 49He appearedG3708 to thoseG3588 who cameG4872 up with Him from GalileeG1056 to JerusalemG2419, the very onesG3748 whoG3748 are nowG3568 50His witnessesG3144 to the peopleG2992. 32And we 51preachG2097 to you the goodG2097 newsG2097 of 52the promiseG1860 madeG1096 to the fathersG3962, 33that GodG2316 has fulfilledG1603 thisG3778 promise 53to our childrenG5043 in that He 54raisedG450 up JesusG2424, as it is alsoG2532 writtenG1125 in the secondG1208 PsalmG5568, ‘55You are My SonG5207; todayG4594 I have begottenG1080 You.’ 34As for the fact that He 56raisedG450 Him up from the deadG3498, noG3371 longerG3371 to returnG5290 to decayG1312, He has spokenG3004 in thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘57I will giveG1325 you the holyG3741 and 58sureG4103 blessings of DavidG1160.’ 35ThereforeG1360 He alsoG2532 saysG3004 in anotherG2087 Psalm, ‘59You will not 60allowG1325 Your 61HolyG3741 OneG3741 to 62undergoG3708 decayG1312.’ 36For 63DavidG1160, after he had 64servedG5256 65the purposeG1012 of GodG2316 in his ownG2398 generationG1074, 66fellG2837 asleepG2837, and was laidG4369 amongG4314 his fathersG3962 and 67underwentG3708 decayG1312; 37but He whomG3739 GodG2316 68raisedG1453 did not 69undergoG3708 decayG1312. 38ThereforeG3767 let it be knownG1110 to you, brethrenG435G80, that 70throughG1223 71Him forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 is proclaimedG2605 to you, 39and 72throughG1722 Him 73everyoneG3956 who believesG4100 is 74freedG1344 75from allG3956 thingsG3956, from whichG3739 you couldG1410 not be 76freedG1344 77throughG1722 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475. 40ThereforeG3767 takeG991 heedG991, soG3361 that the thingG3004 spokenG3004 of 78in the ProphetsG4396 may not comeG1904 upon you:41‘79BeholdG3708, you scoffersG2707, and marvelG2296, and 80perishG853; For I am accomplishingG2038 a workG2041 in your daysG2250, A workG2041 whichG3739 you will neverG3756G3361 believeG4100, thoughG1437 someoneG5100 should describeG1555 it to you.’”
