26 “Fellow children of Abrahama and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvationb has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus,c yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophetsd that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.e 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,f they took him down from the crossg and laid him in a tomb.h 30 But God raised him from the dead,i 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.j They are now his witnessesk to our people.

32 “We tell you the good news:l What God promised our ancestorsm 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.n As it is written in the second Psalm:

“ ‘You are my son;

today I have become your father.’b o

34 God 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.’c p
