23
Of this man’s seed has God according to
his promise raised up Jesus as Saviour unto Israel:
24
John, having first proclaimed before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not
he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26
Men
and brethren, sons of the lineage of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, unto you is this word of saving health sent.
27
For those that dwell at Jerusalem and their princes, because they knew him not nor yet the voices of the prophets who are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled
them in condemning
him.
28
And without finding cause of death
in him, yet they asked Pilate that he should be slain.
29
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took
him down from the tree and laid
him in a sepulchre.
30
But God raised him from the dead,
31
and he was seen many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who until now are his witnesses unto the people.
32
And we declare unto you the gospel of the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33
which God has fulfilled unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
