Acts 13:22-38

²²And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.

²³Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

²⁴John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.

²⁷For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.

²⁸And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.

³⁰But God raised him up from the dead the third day:

³¹Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.

³²And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,

³³This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.

³⁵And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

³⁶For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.

³⁷But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.

³⁸Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
