[35] But in another Psalm it says, ‘You will not let your Holy One rot in the grave.’ Psalm 16:10
[36] “David did God’s will during the time he lived. Then he died and was buried like all his ancestors. And his body did rot in the grave!
[37] But the one God raised from death did not rot in the grave.

[32] “We tell you the Good News about the promise God made to our ancestors.
[33] We are their descendants, and God has made this promise come true for us. God did this by raising Jesus from death. We also read about this in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.’ Psalm 2:7

[27] The Jews living in Jerusalem and their leaders did not realize that Jesus was the Savior. The words the prophets wrote about him were read every Sabbath day, but they did not understand. They condemned Jesus. When they did this, they made the words of the prophets come true.
[28] They could not find any real reason why Jesus should die, but they asked Pilate to kill him.
[30] But God raised him up from death!

[23] “As he promised, God has brought one of David’s descendants to Israel to be their Savior. That descendant is Jesus.
[24] Before he came, John told all the people of Israel what they should do. He told them to be baptized to show they wanted to change their lives.

[21] Herod decided on a day to meet with them. On that day he was wearing a beautiful royal robe. He sat on his throne and made a speech to the people.
[22] The people shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
[23] Herod did not give the glory to God. So an angel of the Lord caused him to get sick. He was eaten by worms inside him, and he died.

[6] One night, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two of the soldiers. More soldiers were guarding the door of the jail. Herod was planning to bring Peter out before the people the next day.
[7] Suddenly an angel of the Lord was standing there, and the room was filled with light. The angel tapped Peter on the side and woke him up. The angel said, “Hurry, get up!” The chains fell off Peter’s hands.
[8] The angel said, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” Peter did as he was told. Then the angel said, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
[9] So the angel went out and Peter followed. He did not know if the angel was really doing this. He thought he might be seeing a vision.
[10] Peter and the angel went past the first guard and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened for them by itself. After they went through the gate and walked about a block, the angel suddenly left.
[11] Peter realized then what had happened. He thought, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from everything those Jews thought would happen to me.”

[21] The Lord was helping these men, and a large number of people believed and decided to follow the Lord.
