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 Therefore he has also said in another psalm, "You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.'

36 For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, died, was laid beside his ancestors, and experienced corruption;

37 but he whom God raised up experienced no corruption.

38 Let it be known to you therefore, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;

39 by this Jesus everyone who believes is set free from all those sins from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
