Acts 13:28-41

²⁸and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

²⁹and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

³⁰and God did raise him out of the dead,

³¹and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

³²'And we to you do proclaim good news — that the promise made unto the fathers,

³³God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee.

³⁴'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus — I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

³⁵wherefore also in another place he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption,

³⁶for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,

³⁷but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.

³⁸'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

³⁹and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

⁴⁰see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I — I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare it to you.'
