28. and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,
29. and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;
30. and God did raise him out of the dead,
31. and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32. `And we to you do proclaim good news--that the promise made unto the fathers,
33. God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art--I to-day have begotten thee.
34. `And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus--I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;
35. wherefore also in another [place] he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption,
36. for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,
37. but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.
38. `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,
39. and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;
40. see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:
41. See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I--I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.'
42. And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,
43. and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.
44. And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,
45. and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul--contradicting and speaking evil.
