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.

36 Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

37 But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

38 And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

39 And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.
