26 [a]Brothers, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of (A)this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem, and their (B)rulers, (C)recognizing neither Him nor the [b]declarations of (D)the prophets which are (E)read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him. 28 And though they found no grounds for putting Him to death, they (F)asked Pilate that He be executed. 29 When they had (G)carried out everything that was written concerning Him, (H)they took Him down from the [c](I)cross and (J)laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God (K)raised Him from the dead; 31 and for many days (L)He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now (M)His witnesses to the people. 32 And we (N)preach to you the good news of (O)the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this promise to those of us who are the descendants by (P)raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘(Q)You are My Son; today I have fathered You.’ 34 As for the fact that He (R)raised Him from the dead, never again to return to decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘(S)I will give you the holy and faithful mercies of David.’ 35 Therefore, He also says in another Psalm: ‘(T)You will not [d]allow Your [e]Holy One to [f]undergo decay.’
