Context of Acts 13:35

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. 34And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said in this way, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Therefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not allow thy Holy One to see corruption. 36For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption: 37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
