23. Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24. John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.
25. And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26. Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.
27. For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
28. And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
29. And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
30. But God raised him up from the dead the third day:
31. Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
32. And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
33. This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34. And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.
35. And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
36. For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.
