Acts 13:22-36

EJ2000(i) 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king, to whom also he gave testimony, saying, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfil all my will. 23 Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise raised up Jesus as Saviour unto Israel: 24 John, having first proclaimed before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am?
