Acts 13:31

GalileeJerusalem
The resurrection

29 When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

30 But God raised Him from the dead,

and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.

32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers

33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
