Acts:13:26-38

*
Men and brethren ,
children of the stock of Abraham ,
and whosoever among you feareth God ,
to you is the word of this salvation sent .
*
For they that dwell at Jerusalem ,
and their rulers ,
because they knew him not ,
nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day ,
they have fulfilled them in condemning him .
*
And though they found no cause of death in him ,
yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain .
*
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him ,
they took him down from the tree ,
and laid him in a sepulchre .
*
But God raised him from the dead :
*
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem ,
who are his witnesses unto the people .
*
And we declare unto you glad tidings ,
how that the promise which was made unto the fathers ,
*
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children ,
in that he hath raised up Jesus again ;
as it is also written in the second psalm ,
Thou art my Son ,
this day have I begotten thee .
*
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead ,
now no more to return to corruption ,
he said on this wise ,
I will give you the sure mercies of David .
*
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm ,
Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption .
*
For David ,
after he had served his own generation by the will of God ,
fell on sleep ,
and was laid unto his fathers ,
and saw corruption :
*
But he ,
whom God raised again ,
saw no corruption .
*
Be it known unto you therefore ,
men and brethren ,
that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins :
