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.
37. But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.
38. Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39. In him every one that believeth, is justified.
40. Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
41. Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.
42. And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.
43. And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44. But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
45. And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
46. Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.
47. For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
48. And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.
49. And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
