Acts 13:23

Jesus

21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.

22 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’

From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.

24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
