20All these events took place over four hundred and fifty years. After all these things, God gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
21Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, to be king for forty years.
22After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'
23From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.
24This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
