Acts - ch 13 v 21 - 40

  1. Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
  2. When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
  3. From this man's seed, God has brought salvation1 to Israel according to his promise,
  4. before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.2
  5. As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
  6. Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
  7. For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn't know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
  8. Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
  9. When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
  10. But God raised him from the dead,
  11. and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
  12. We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
  13. that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'3
  14. "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'4
  15. Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'5
  16. For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
  17. But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
  18. Be it known to you therefore, brothers6, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,
  19. and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
  20. Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
  1. TR, NU read "a Savior, Jesus" instead of "salvation"
  2. TR, NU read "to all the people of Israel" instead of "to Israel"
  3. Psalm 2:7
  4. Isaiah 55:3
  5. Psalm 16:10
  6. The word for "brothers" here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."
