Acts 13:26-39

English Standard Version

²⁶“Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you ^(A)who fear God, to us has been sent ^(B)the message of ^(C)this salvation. ²⁷For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because ^(D)they did not recognize him nor understand ^(E)the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, ^(F)fulfilled them by condemning him. ²⁸And ^(G)though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, ^(H)they asked Pilate to have him executed. ²⁹And when ^(I)they had carried out all that was written of him, ^(J)they took him down from ^(K)the tree and laid him in a tomb. ³⁰But ^(L)God raised him from the dead, ³¹and for many days ^(M)he appeared to those ^(N)who had come up with him ^(O)from Galilee to Jerusalem, ^(P)who are now ^(Q)his witnesses to the people. ³²And we bring you the good news ^(R)that what God promised to the fathers, ³³^(S)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

^(T)“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’

³⁴And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, ^(U)^(V)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

“‘I will give you ^(W)the holy and sure blessings of David.’

³⁵Therefore he says also in another psalm,

^(X)“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’

³⁶For David, after he had ^(Y)served the purpose of God in his own generation, ^(Z)fell asleep and ^(AA)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, ³⁷but he whom ^(AB)God raised up did not see corruption. ³⁸Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, ^(AC)that through this man ^(AD)forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, ³⁹and by him ^(AE)everyone who believes is freed^[a] from everything ^(AF)from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
