Acts 13:29-39

29 "When they had ¹carried out all that was written concerning Him, ²they took Him down from ³the cross and ⁴laid Him in a tomb.

30 "But God ⁵raised Him from the dead;

31 and for many days ⁶He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now ⁷His witnesses to the people.

32 "And we ⁸preach to you the good news of ⁹the promise made to the fathers,

33 that God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He ¹⁰raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, '¹¹YOU ARE MY SON; TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.'

34 "As for the fact that He ¹²raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: '¹³I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and SURE blessings OF DAVID.'

35 "Therefore He also says in another Psalm, '¹⁴YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.'

36 "For ¹⁵David, after he had served ¹⁶the purpose of God in his own generation, ¹⁷fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;

37 but He whom God ¹⁸raised did not undergo decay.

38 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren *, that ¹⁹through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

39 and through Him ²⁰everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.
