22 And, having removed him, he raised up to them David, for a king; whom also he extolled, and said, "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my will."
23 Of this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up to Israel, Jesus, the Saviour;
24 John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel.

26 Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:

34 And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."
