Acts 13:37

Acts 13:37 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 13:37

But he whom God raised again
The Vulgate Latin version adds, "from the dead"; meaning the Lord Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead by God the Father: and

saw no corruption;
he did not lie so long in the grave as to corrupt and putrefy, but was raised from the dead the third day; wherefore the passage, before cited, is very applicable to him, and is a clear proof that the Messiah was to rise from the dead, as Jesus did.

Acts 13:37 In-Context

35 Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

39 and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
