Acts 13:31 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 13:31

29 ^aNow when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, ^bthey took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

30 ^aBut God raised Him from the dead.

31 ^aHe was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

32 And we declare to you glad tidings—^athat promise which was made to the fathers.

33 God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:
^a‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’

Acts 13:26-31

to you is the word of this salvation sent—both being regarded as one class, as "the Jew first," to whom the Gospel was to be addressed in the first instance.
