Acts 13:26-34 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

26. “Men and brothers, sons of the family of Abraham and those among you who fear God—to us the message of this salvation has been sent!

27. For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize this one, and the voices of the prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

28. And although they found no charge worthy of death, they asked Pilate that he be executed.

29. And when they had carried out all the things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.

30. But God raised him from the dead,

31. who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem—who are now his witnesses to the people.

32. And we proclaim the good news to you: that the promise that was made to the fathers,

33. this promise God has fulfilled to our children by raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son; today I have fathered you.’

34. But that he has raised him from the dead, no more going to return to decay, he has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the reliable divine decrees of David.’
