28 The people and their rulers had no reason at all for sentencing Jesus to death. But they asked Pilate to have him killed.
29 They did everything that had been written about Jesus. Then they took him down from the cross. They laid him in a tomb.
30 But God raised him from the dead.
31 For many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. Now they are his witnesses to our people.
32 "We are telling you the good news. What God promised our people long ago
33 he has done for us, their children. He has raised up Jesus. This is what is written in the second Psalm. It says, " 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.' (Psalm 2:7)
34 God raised Jesus from the dead. He will never rot in the grave. This is what is written in Scripture. It says, " 'Holy and sure blessings were promised to David. I will give them to you.' (Isaiah 55:3)
