Acts 13:17-35

17The GodG2316 of thisG3778 peopleG2992 IsraelG2274 1choseG1586 our fathersG3962 and 23madeG5312 the peopleG2992 greatG5312 duringG1722 their stayG3940 in the landG1093 of EgyptG125, and with an upliftedG5308 armG1023 4He ledG1806 them out from it. 18For 5a periodG5550 of aboutG5613 fortyG5066 yearsG5066 6He putG5159 up with them in the wildernessG2048. 197When He had destroyedG2507 8sevenG2033 nationsG1484 in the landG1093 of CanaanG5477, He 9distributedG2624 their landG1093 as an inheritanceG2624--all of which took 10aboutG5613 fourG5071 hundredG5071 and fiftyG4004 yearsG2094. 20AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 He 11gaveG1325 them judgesG2923 untilG2193 12SamuelG4545 the prophetG4396. 21ThenG2532 they 13askedG154 for a kingG935, and GodG2316 gaveG1325 them 14SaulG4549 the sonG5207 of KishG2797, a manG435 of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, for fortyG5065 yearsG2094. 22AfterG2596 He had 15removedG3179 him, He raisedG1453 up DavidG1160 to be their kingG935, concerning whomG3739 He alsoG2532 testifiedG3140 and saidG3004, ‘16I have foundG2147 DavidG1160 the son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 My heartG2588, whoG3739 will doG4160 allG3956 My 17willG2307.’ 2318From the descendantsG4690 of thisG3778 manG3778, 19accordingG2596 to promiseG1860, GodG2316 has broughtG71 to IsraelG2274 20a SaviorG4990, JesusG2424, 24after 21JohnG2491 had proclaimedG4296 beforeG4253 22His comingG4383G1529 a 23baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2274. 25And whileG5613 JohnG2491 24was completingG4137 his courseG1408, 25he 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 26thisG3778 salvationG4991 has been sentG1821. 27For thoseG3588 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and their 27rulersG758, 28recognizingG50 neither Him norG2532 the 29utterancesG5456 of 30the prophetsG4396 which are 31readG314 everyG3956 SabbathG4521, fulfilledG4137 these by condemningG2919 Him. 28And though they foundG2147 noG3367 groundG156 for putting Him to death, they 32askedG154 PilateG4091 that He be 33executedG337. 29WhenG5613 they had 34carriedG5055 out allG3956 that was writtenG1125 concerningG4012 Him, 35they tookG2507 Him downG2507 from 36the 37crossG3586 and 38laidG5087 Him in a tombG3419. 30But GodG2316 39raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498; 31and for manyG4183 daysG2250 40He appearedG3708 to thoseG3588 who cameG4872 up with Him from GalileeG1056 to JerusalemG2419, the very onesG3748 whoG3748 are nowG3568 41His witnessesG3144 to the peopleG2992. 32And we 42preachG2097 to you the goodG2097 newsG2097 of 43the promiseG1860 madeG1096 to the fathersG3962, 33that GodG2316 has fulfilledG1603 thisG3778 promise 44to our childrenG5043 in that He 45raisedG450 up JesusG2424, as it is alsoG2532 writtenG1125 in the secondG1208 PsalmG5568, ‘46You are My SonG5207; todayG4594 I have begottenG1080 You.’ 34As for the fact that He 47raisedG450 Him up from the deadG3498, noG3371 longerG3371 to returnG5290 to decayG1312, He has spokenG3004 in thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘48I will giveG1325 you the holyG3741 and 49sureG4103 blessings of DavidG1160.’ 35ThereforeG1360 He alsoG2532 saysG3004 in anotherG2087 Psalm, ‘50You will not 51allowG1325 Your 52HolyG3741 OneG3741 to 53undergoG3708 decayG1312.’
