Acts 13:16-25

16 Then Paul stood up and put out his hand. He said, `Men of Israel and you who worship and fear God, please listen to me.

17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made the people into a large tribe when they were strangers in the land of Egypt. God brought them out of Egypt by his power.

18 For forty years in the wilderness God cared for them like a father.

19 God took seven tribes out of the land of Canaan. Then he divided the land among our people.

20 God gave judges to rule over them until Samuel the prophet came. About four hundred and fifty years had passed.

21 Then the people asked for a king. God gave them Saul. He was the son of Kish, a man from Benjamin's family. Saul was their king for forty years.

22 Then God took him away. He made David king over them. This is what God said about him, "David, Jesse's son, is the kind of man I love. He will do all that I want him to do."

23 God has given Israel a Saviour from David's family, as he promised to do. His name is Jesus.

24 Before he came, John [the baptiser] talked to all the people of Israel. He said they should stop doing wrong things and be baptised.

25 When John was finishing his work, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But wait, someone else will come after me. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings."
