Acts 13:28-41

²⁸And though they found nothing deserving death in him, they asked of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹And when they had accomplished all that was written of him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead,

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

³²And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers

³³God hath fulfilled to us their children, in raising up Jesus from the dead; as it is also written in the first Psalm: “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”

³⁴And that he raised him up from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken: “I will give you the sure holy things promised to David.”

³⁵Wherefore also in another Psalm he saith, “Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption:”

³⁶For David, after having in his own generation served the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption;

³⁷but he whom God raised from the dead did not see corruption.

³⁸Be it therefore known to you, brethren, that through this man is announced to you the forgiveness 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,

⁴¹“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish! for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will not believe, though one should plainly declare it to you.”
