Acts 13:26-38

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Acts 13:26-38

26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
28And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
30But God raised Him from the dead,
31and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
32And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
33He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:
‘You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.’
34In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said:
‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
35So also, He says in another Psalm:
‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
36For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
37But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
— Acts 13:26-38
