Acts 13:27

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read ° every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30

But God raised him from the dead:

31

And he was seen many ° days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36

For ° David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Acts 13:33

13:33 second psalm. The quote is from Psalm 2:7, and indicates that the prophecy applies specifically to Christ’s resurrection, rather than His birth. He had been “declared to be the Son of God…by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). It is also significant that Paul called it “the second psalm,” just as we do today, thus indicating that the chapter divisions in the book of Psalms are not the product of medieval scholars, but were there from the beginning.

Acts 13:34

13:34 on this wise. See Isaiah 55:3.

Acts 13:35

13:35 another psalm. Psalm 16:10.
