29. “And when they had accomplished all that was written concerning Him, taking Him down from the timber, they laid Him in a tomb.
30. “But Elohim raised Him from the dead,
31. and He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galil to Yerushalayim, who are His witnesses to the people.
32. “And we bring you the Good News, the promise made to the fathers,
33. that Elohim has filled this for us, their children, having raised up יהושע, as it has also been written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son, today I have brought You forth.’
34. “And that He raised Him out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has said thus, ‘I shall give you the trustworthy kindnesses of Dawiḏ.’
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,
39. and by Him everyone who believes is declared right from all sins from which you were not able to be declared right by the Torah of Mosheh.
40. “Watch then that what was said in the prophets does not come upon you:
41. “See, you despisers, marvel and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you would in no way believe if someone were to declare it to you.’ ”
42. And when the Yehuḏim went out of the congregation, the gentiles begged to have these words spoken to them the next Sabbath.
43. And when the meeting of the congregation had broken up, many of the Yehuḏim and of the worshipping converts followed Sha’ul and Barnaḇah, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the favour of Elohim.
44. And on the next Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the Word of Elohim.
45. But when the Yehuḏim saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. And contradicting and speaking evil, they opposed what Sha’ul was saying.
46. But speaking boldly, Sha’ul and Barnaḇah said, “It was necessary that the word of Elohim should be spoken to you first, but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the gentiles.
47. “For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have set you to be a light to the gentiles, that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.’ ”
