Acts 13 [blb] -
26 Men, brothers, sons of
the family of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to us
the message of this salvation has been sent.
27 For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned
Him, they fulfilled
them.
28 And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death.
29 And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken
Him down from the tree, they put
Him in a tomb.
30 But God raised Him out from
the dead,
31 who appeared for many days to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.
32 And we preach the gospel to you, the promise having been made to the fathers,
33 that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also it has been written in the second psalm:
‘You are My Son,
today I have begotten you.’
34 And that He raised Him out from
the dead, no more being about to return to decay, He spoke thus:
‘I will give to you the holy
and sure
blessings of David.’
35 Therefore He also says in another:
‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 For indeed David, having served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was added to his fathers, and saw decay.
37 But the
One God raised up did not see decay.
38 Therefore be it known to you, men, brothers, that through this One, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
39 And in Him everyone believing is justified from all things from which you were not able to be justified in
the Law of Moses.
40 Take heed therefore, lest that having been said in the prophets might come about:
41 ‘Behold, scoffers,
and wonder and perish;
for I am working a work in your days,
a work that you would never believe,
even if one should declare it to you.’”
The Gentiles Ask to Hear the Gospel
42 And they having departed, they were begging these words to be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.
