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.
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.’
a‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to1 corruption, He has spoken thus:
a‘I will give you the sure1 mercies of David.’
a‘I will give you the sure1 mercies of David.’
35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
a‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
a‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
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.’ ”
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.’ ”
Blessing and Conflict at Antioch
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.
