Acts 13:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible
22 Then God removed Saul as king. He caused David to be their king instead.[a] God said this about David: “I have watched David, the son of Jesse. He does things that make me happy. I know that he will do everything that I want.”
23 God promised to send to the people of Israel someone who would save us. Jesus is the man that God sent to save us. He is a descendant of King David. 24 Before Jesus began his work in this world, John spoke a message to all the people of Israel. He told people to stop doing wrong things and to turn to God. Then he would baptize them.[b]
