Acts 13:26-43

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.

³⁹In him every one that believeth, is justified.

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 you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.

⁴²And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.

⁴³And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
