30. Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
31. And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.
32. And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,
33. has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: 'You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.'
34. Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: 'I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.'
35. And also then, in another place, he says: 'You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.'
36. For David, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption.
37. Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.
38. Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
39. In him, all who believe are justified.
40. Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm you:
41. 'You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.' "
42. Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.
43. And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44. Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
45. Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
46. Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: "It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
47. For so has the Lord instructed us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' "
48. Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life.
49. Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
