Acts 13:23-38 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

23. “From this one’s seed, according to the promise, Elohim raised up for Yisra’ĕl a Saviour, יהושע,

24. after Yoḥanan had first proclaimed the immersion of repentance to all the people of Yisra’ĕl, before His coming.

25. “And as Yoḥanan was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not He. But see, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’

26. “Men, brothers, sons of the race of Aḇraham, and those among you fearing Elohim, to you the word of this deliverance has been sent,

35. “For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You shall not give Your Kind One to see corruption.’

36. “For Dawiḏ, indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of Elohim, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption,

37. but He whom Elohim raised up saw no corruption.

38. “Let it therefore be known to you, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
