Acts 13:33

Acts 13:33

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.’

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.’

35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
^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.

Hath fulfilled (ekpeplhrwken). Hath filled out (ek).

Unto our children (toiv teknoiv hmwn). The MSS. vary greatly here about hmwn (our), some have autwn, some autwn hmin. Westcott and Hort consider these readings "a primitive error" for hmin (to us) taken with anasthsav Ihsoun (having for us raised up Jesus). This raising up (from anisthmi, set up) as in Acts 3:22; Acts 7:37 refers not to resurrection (verse Acts 13:34), but to the sending of Jesus (two raisings up).

In the second psalm (en tw yalmw tw deuterw). Psalms 2:7. D has prwtw because the first psalm was often counted as merely introductory.
