Acts 13:29-36

²⁹In that way Jesus died, just like those men wrote in God’s book. And after they killed Jesus they took him down from the cross and put him into a grave.

³⁰But then God made Jesus alive again.

³¹Then Jesus’s followers saw him a lot of times. They were the mob from Galilee country that came to Jerusalem with him. And now those people are telling everyone about Jesus.

³²And we are telling you the same good news about Jesus. You see, a long time ago God promised our grand-fathers that he will do something good for them,

³³and now God did it for us, their grand-kids. He made Jesus alive again. You see, we can read it in God’s book, in the part called Psalm number 2. We can read that God said, ‘You are my son. Now people will know that I am your Father.’

³⁴You see, God made Jesus alive, and he will never rot in the grave. We know this is right because we can read that God told his son, ‘I made special promises to David, and I’m making those same promises to you.’

³⁵And there is another psalm that David wrote, and in it God said, ‘You will not let your special person rot in the grave.’

³⁶But God was not saying that about David. You see, at that time, David lived for God, and then he died, and people buried him next to his grand-fathers. His body rotted in that grave.
