Lamsa(i)
22 And when in time God took Saul away he raised up to them David to be their king; concerning whom he testified and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, to do my will.
23 Of this manÆs seed God has, according to his promise, raised to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 Before whose coming, he had sent John to preach the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said, Whom do you think I am? I am not he. But behold there comes one after me the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie.
26 O men and brethren, descendants of the family of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of salvation sent.
27 For in as much as the inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders did not understand him nor the books of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they condemned him; but all the things which were written have been fulfilled.
28 And though they found no cause for his death, they asked Pilate that they might kill him.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they lowered him from the cross and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 But God raised him from the dead;
31 And for many days he was seen by them who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people.
32 And behold we also preach to you that that very promise which was made to our fathers,
33 Behold God has fulfilled it unto us their children, for he has raised up Jesus, just as it is written in the second psalm, You are my son, this day I have begotten you.
34 And God raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, as he said, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 And again he said in another place, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation with the will of God, passed away; though he was a greater man than his fathers, yet he saw corruption.
