Acts 13:24

Acts 13:24

22 And ^awhen He had removed him, ^bHe raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ^c‘I have found David the son of Jesse, ^da man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

23 ^aFrom this man’s seed, according ^bto the promise, God raised up for Israel ^ca Savior—Jesus—

24 ^aafter John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ^a‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, ^bthere comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’

26 “Men and brethren, sons of the¹ family of Abraham, and ^athose among you who fear God, ^bto you the word of this salvation has been sent.

27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, ^abecause they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.

28 ^aAnd though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

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.

John having first preached - He mentions this, as a thing already known to them. And so doubtless it was. For it gave so loud an alarm to the whole Jewish nation, as could not but be heard of in foreign countries, at least as remote as Pisidia.
