Deeds (Act) of Apostles 13:21-35

²¹And from that time they asked (for) a king, and God gave to them Saul, the son of Cis, a man of the lineage of Benjamin, by forty years. (And at that time they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.)

²²And when he was done away, he raised to them David the king, to whom he bare witnessing (or of whom he testified), and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after mine (own) heart, which (or who) shall do all my will.

²³Of whose seed by the promise God hath led out to Israel a Saviour Jesus,

²⁴when John preached before the face of his coming the baptism of penance (or the baptism of repentance) to all the people of Israel.

²⁵But when John ful filled his course, he said, I am not he, whom ye deem me to be (or whom ye judge me to be); but lo! he (that) cometh after me, and I am not worthy to do off or to unbind the shoes of his feet.

²⁶Brethren, and sons of the kind of Abraham, and which that in you dread God, to you the word of this health is sent. (Brothers, and sons of the kindred of Abraham, and those of you who have fearful reverence for God, to you the message of this salvation is sent.)

²⁷For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and (the) princes of it, (or For they who live in Jerusalem, and their leaders), that knew not this Jesus, and the voices of (the) prophets, that by every sabbath be read, deemed, and fulfilled;

²⁸and they found in him no cause (worthy) of death, and (yet) asked of Pilate, that they should slay him. (and they found in him no crime worthy of death, but yet they asked of Pilate, that he should be killed, or executed.)

²⁹And when they had ended all things that were written of him, they took him down off the tree, and laid him in a grave (or and laid him in a tomb).

³⁰And God raised him from death in the third day; Forsooth God raised him from (the) dead the third day;

³¹which was seen by many days to them that went up together with him from Galilee into Jerusalem, which be till now his witnesses to the people. (who was seen for many days by those who went up together with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who up to the present be his witnesses to the people.)

³²And we show to you the promise that was made to our fathers;

³³for God hath fulfilled this to their sons, and again-raised Jesus (or and raised up Jesus); as in the second psalm it is written, Thou art my Son, today I begat thee.

³⁴And he that again-raised him from death or Forsooth that he again-raised him from (the) dead, that he should not turn again into corruption, said thus, For I shall give to you the holy true things of David. (And he who raised him from the dead, so that he would never return to corruption, or to death and destruction, said thus, I shall give you the holy and true blessings which I promised to David.)

³⁵Therefore and in another stead he saith, Thou shalt not give thine holy (One) to see corruption. (And so in another place he saith, Thou shalt not allow thine Holy One to experience death and destruction, that is, to rot in the grave.)
