Acts 13:36
Compare all
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.

Acts 13:36

His own generation (idiai geneai). Either locative case, "in his own generation" or dative object of uphrethsav (served).

The counsel of God (th tou qeou boulh). So here, either the dative, the object of uphrethsav if geneai is locative, or the instrumental case "by the counsel of God" which again may be construed either with uphrethsav (having served) or after ekoimhqh (fell on sleep). Either of the three ways is grammatical and makes good sense. Koimaomai for death we have already had (Acts 7:60). So Jesus (John 11:11) and Paul (I Corinthians 15:6, I Corinthians 15:51).

Was laid (proseteqh). Was added unto (first aorist passive indicative of prostiqhmi). See the verb in Acts 2:47; Acts 5:14. This figure for death probably arose from the custom of burying families together (Genesis 15:15; Judges 2:10).

Saw corruption (eiden diafqoran). As Jesus did not (Acts 2:31) as he shows in verse Acts 13:37.
