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 says also in another psalm, 'Thou wilt not let thy Holy One see corruption.'

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

37 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

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

39 and by him every one that believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
