ISV(i)
22 Then God removed Saul and made David their king, about whom he testified, ‘I have found that David, the son of Jesse, is a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my wishes.’
23 It was from this man’s descendants that God, as he promised, brought to Israel a Savior, who is Jesus.
24 Before Jesus’ appearance, John had already preached a baptism of repentance to all the people in Israel.
25 When John was finishing his work, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I’m not the Messiah. No, but he is coming after me, and I’m not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.’
26 “My brothers, descendants of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, it is to us that the message of this salvation has been sent. 27 For the people who live in Jerusalem and their leaders, not knowing who Jesus was, condemned him and so fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Although they found no reason to sentence him to death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they had finished doing everything that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come with him to Jerusalem from Galilee. These are now his witnesses to the people. 32 We’re telling you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’ 34 God raised him from the dead, never to experience decay, as he said, ‘I’ll give you the holy promises made to David.’ 35 In another Psalm he says, ‘You will not let your Holy One experience decay.’ 36 Now David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, died and was buried with his ancestors, and so he experienced decay.
