Acts 13:31-37 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

31. and He appeared for many days to those who came with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.

32. And we ourselves proclaim to you the good news of the promise that was made to our ancestors.

33. God has fulfilled this 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. Since He raised Him from the dead, never to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, I will grant you the faithful covenant blessings made to David.

35. Therefore He also says in another passage, You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.

36. For David, after serving his own generation in God’s plan, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and decayed.

37. But the One God raised up did not decay.
