Acts 13:16 Paul stood and gestured toward them. “People of Israel and all who fear God, listen to me.
13:17 The God of Israel walked with our ancestors and exalted our people when they were foreigners in Egypt, miraculously delivering them from slavery.
13:18 Forty years he patiently cared for the people as they wandered in the wilderness.
13:19 He destroyed seven nations in Canaan and divided their land by lot to the tribes of Israel.
13:20 For the next 450 years, until Samuel the prophet, he appointed judges to govern the people.
13:21 After that, the people wanted a king, so God gave them Saul, son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
13:22 King David took his place, of whom God said, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do what I want.’
13:23 From this man’s descendants, God has brought the promised Savior to Israel, Jesus Christ.
13:24 When John preached repentance from sin and baptized the people of Israel, he predicted Jesus coming.
13:25 Near the end of his ministry, John said, ‘Do you think I’m the Messiah? I am not. He is coming after me, and I’m not worthy of loosening the ties of his sandals.’
13:26 My friends—descendants of Abraham and all those who fear God—this message has been sent for our salvation.
13:27 The people in Jerusalem, especially the leaders, never recognized the Messiah. By condemning him, they fulfilled the words of the prophets that they read every Sabbath.
13:28 With no legal reason to call for his death, they still demanded of Pilate his execution.
13:29 After all that the prophecies said about the Messiah had been fulfilled, Jesus was taken down from the cross and laid in a tomb,
13:30 but God raised him from the dead.
13:31 From Galilee to Jerusalem, those who knew him saw him again, giving eyewitness testimony of his resurrection.
13:32 So now we bring the good news of the promise made to our ancestors,
13:33 which was fulfilled for us, their descendants, when Jesus came forth from the grave. As it is written in the second Psalm, You are my son. Today I have brought you forth.
13:34 Raised from the dead, saved from bodily decay in the grave, he received the blessing foretold by David,
13:35 as he said in his psalm, You will not abandon me in death nor will you allow your Holy One’s body to decay.
13:36 He served his generation according to God’s will, and then his body was buried with his ancestors and decayed—
13:37 but the body of the one God raised did not decay.
13:38 I want you to know, my friends, that by this man we now proclaim the forgiveness of sin.
13:39 Those who place complete trust in Jesus Christ will know righteousness that the Law of Moses could never provide.
13:40 Watch out, or the prophet’s words might apply to you, saying,
13:41 You among the nations will look and be in awe. You will see me at work in your day, yet you will not believe the evidence.
King James
Acts 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
13:28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
13:30 But God raised him from the dead:
13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Paul refers to a psalm that he says was fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ. These verses are typically translated as God saying Jesus had become his son, which we might question since Jesus was always God’s son. The Father identified his Son long before the resurrection. The Hebrew yalad in Psalm 2:7 can also be translated “brought forth” which would have been understood as a direct connection to the resurrection, Thus, Jesus “came forth” from the grave, fulfilling the prophetic words: Today I have brought you forth. How do you think the Jews related the verse in Psalms to Jesus’ resurrection?
