Acts 13:22-36

Murdock(i) 22 And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. 23 From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer. 24 And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings. 26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent. 27 For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written. 28 And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. 29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. 30 But God raised him from the dead. 31 And he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our fathers, 33 lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 34 And God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David. 35 And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption. 36 For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
