32. We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
33. that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
34. “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35. Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36. For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
37. But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
38. Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,
39. and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40. Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
41. ‘Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
42. So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43. Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44. The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
