32“We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors

33he 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.’ Psalm 2:7

34God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said, “ ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’ Isaiah 55:3

35So it is also stated elsewhere: “ ‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’ Psalm 16:10 (see Septuagint) 36“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.

37But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. 38“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.

40Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

41“ ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’ Hab. 1:5 42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath.
