Acts 13 — Context

29

And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

30

But God gave him back from the dead:

31

And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

32

And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,

33

Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

34

And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

35

Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.
