22 And having removed him, He raised up David to them as king, to whom also He said, having carried witness: ‘I have found David the son of Jesse a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.’
23 Of the seed of this man, according to promise, God raised up to Israel the Savior, Jesus—
24 John having proclaimed before the face of His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And while John was fulfilling the course, he was saying, ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? I am not He, but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie a sandal of the feet.’
26 Men, brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent.
27 For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned Him, they fulfilled them.
28 And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death.
29 And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb.
30 But God raised Him out from the dead,
31 who appeared for many days to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.
32 And we preach the gospel to you, the promise having been made to the fathers,
33 that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also it has been written in the second psalm: ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten you.’
34 And that He raised Him out from the dead, no more being about to return to decay, He spoke thus: ‘I will give to you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Therefore He also says in another: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 For indeed David, having served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was added to his fathers, and saw decay.
