Acts 13:38
Compare all
36 “For David, after he had served1 his own generation by the will of God, afell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and2 saw corruption;  
37 but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.  
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that athrough this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;  
39 and aby 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 what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 ‘Behold,a you despisers,
Marvel and perish!
For I work a work in your days,
A work which you will by no means believe,
Though one were to declare it to you.’ ”

42 1So 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 congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, apersuaded them to continue in bthe grace of God.

Acts 13:38

Through this man (dia toutou). This very man whom the Jews had crucified and whom God had raised from the dead. Remission of sins (afesiv amartiwn) is proclaimed (kataggelletai) to you. This is the keynote of Paul's message as it had been that of Peter at Pentecost (Acts 2:38; Acts 5:31; Acts 10:43). Cf. Acts 26:18. This glorious message Paul now presses home in his exhortation.
