Acts 13:35-41
J.B. Phillips New Testament
35 And then going further he says in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your holy one to see corruption.’
36-41 For David, remember, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his ancestors. He did in fact ‘see corruption’, but this man whom God raised never saw corruption! It is therefore imperative, men and brothers, that every one of you should realise that forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you through this man. And through faith in him a man is absolved from all those things from which the Law of Moses could never set him free. Take care then that this saying of the prophets should never apply to you: ‘Behold, you despisers, marvel and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, though one were to declare it to you.’”

New International Version
35 So it is also stated elsewhere:
36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;(B) he was buried with his ancestors(C) and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead(D) did not see decay.
