Acts 13:22-24

New Century Version

²² After God took him away, God made David their king. God said about him: ‘I have found in David son of Jesse the kind of man I want. He will do all I want him to do.’ ²³ So God has brought Jesus, one of David’s descendants, to Israel to be its Savior, as he promised. ²⁴ Before Jesus came, John^[a] preached to all the people of Israel about a baptism of changed hearts and lives.
