New Testament

Acts 13:34-44 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
