Acts 13:16-25

¹⁶And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.

¹⁷The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,

¹⁸and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.

¹⁹And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

²⁰And after these things he gave them judges till Samuel the prophet, to the end of about four hundred and fifty years.

²¹And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

²²And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

²³Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴John having proclaimed before the face of his entry among the people the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
