Acts 13:34-36

International Children’s Bible

³⁴God raised Jesus from death. He will never go back to the grave and become dust. So God said:

‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings
that I promised to David.’ Isaiah 55:3

³⁵But in another place God says:

‘You will not let your Holy One
rot in the grave.’ Psalm 16:10

³⁶David did God’s will during his lifetime. Then he died and was buried with his fathers. And his body did rot in the grave!

Acts 13:34-36

New International Version

³⁴God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’^[a]^(A)

³⁵So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’^[b]^(B)

³⁶“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;^(C) he was buried with his ancestors^(D) and his body decayed.
