Context of Acts 13:31
29And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 30But God raised him from the dead: And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. 32And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers, 33God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
