Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 13 : 25 - 33
Chapter 13
| 25 | And as John was finishing his course, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'
|
| 26 | "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
|
| 27 | For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.
|
| 28 | And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.
|
| 29 | Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
|
| 30 | But God raised Him from the dead.
|
| 31 | He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
|
| 32 | And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.
|
| 33 | God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
