25And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.
26My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.
27For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.
28And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.
29And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.
30But God gave him back from the dead:
31And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.
32And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,
33Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.
34And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.
35Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.
36Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:
37But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.
38And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:
39And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.
40So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;
41See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.
42And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.
43Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.
44And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.
45But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.
