Read in context

Acts 13:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers

33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

34 In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’

35 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’

36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
