Acts 13:26-43

²⁶Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

²⁷For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

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

³⁰But God raised him from the dead:

³¹and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

³²And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,

³³that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.

³⁵Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

³⁸Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

³⁹and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.

⁴²And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

⁴³Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
