Acts 13:29-41
13:29 When they had accomplished
everything that was written
about him, they took him down
from the cross
and placed him
in a tomb.
13:30 But God raised
him from the dead,
13:31 and
for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied
him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These
are now his witnesses to the people.
13:32 And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors,
13:33 that this promise
God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising
Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, ‘
You are my Son; today I have fathered you.’
13:34 But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus
from the dead, never
again to be
in a state of decay, God
has spoken in this way: ‘
I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.’
13:35 Therefore he also says in another psalm,
‘
You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.’
13:36 For David, after he had served
God’s purpose in his own generation, died,
was buried with his ancestors,
and experienced
decay,
13:37 but the one
whom God raised up did not experience
decay.
13:38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this one
forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
13:39 and by this one
everyone who believes is justified
from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify
you.
13:40 Watch out,
then, that what is spoken about by
the prophets does not happen to you:
13:41 ‘Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish!
For I am doing a work in your days,
a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.’”
