Acts 13:26-34 (NRSV)
26My
brothers, you descendants of Abraham's family, and others who fear God, to
us the message of this salvation has been sent. 27Because the
residents of Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize him or understand
the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath, they fulfilled those
words by condemning him. 28Even though they found no cause for
a sentence of death, they asked Pilate to have him killed. 29When
they had carried out everything that was written about him, they took him
down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30But God raised him
from the dead; 31and for many days he appeared to those who came
up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to
the people. 32And we bring you the good news that what God promised
to our ancestors 33he has fulfilled for us, their children, by
raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, 34As to his raising
him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this
way,
'You are my
Son;
today I have begotten you.'
'I will give you the holy promises made to David.'
