44:013:026 Men and brethren, children of the stock
of Abraham, and
whosoever
among you feareth God, to you is the word of this
salvation
sent.
44:013:027 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their
rulers, because
they
knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which
are
read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in
condemning
him.
44:013:028 And though they found no cause of death
in him, yet desired
they
Pilate that he should be slain.
44:013:029 And when they had fulfilled all that was
written of him, they
took
him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
44:013:030 But God raised him from the dead:
44:013:031 And he was seen many days of them which
came up with him from
Galilee
to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
44:013:032 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how
that the promise
which
was made unto the fathers,
44:013:033 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their
children, in that he
hath
raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the
second
psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
44:013:034 And as concerning that he raised him up
from the dead, now no
more
to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will
give
you the sure mercies of David.
44:013:035 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm,
Thou shalt not
suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
44:013:036 For David, after he had served his own
generation by the will
of
God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers,
and saw
corruption:
44:013:037 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
44:013:038 Be it known unto you therefore, men and
brethren, that through
this
man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
44:013:039 And by him all that believe are justified
from all things,
from
which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
44:013:040 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you,
which is spoken of
in
the prophets;
44:013:041 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish:
for I work a
work
in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe,
though
a man declare it unto you.
44:013:042 And when the Jews were gone out of the
synagogue, the Gentiles
besought
that these words might be preached to them the next
sabbath.
44:013:043 Now when the congregation was broken up,
many of the Jews and
religious
proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking
to
them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44:013:044 And the next sabbath day came almost the
whole city together
to
hear the word of God.
