Acts 13:22-26

22 he deposed him and raised up David to be king, whom he attested in these words, “I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform my entire will.”

23 To keep his promise, God has raised up for Israel one of David’s descendants, Jesus, as Saviour,

24 whose coming was heralded by John when he proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the whole people of Israel.

25 Before John ended his course he said, “I am not the one you imagine me to be; there is someone coming after me whose sandal I am not fit to undo.”

26 ‘My brothers, sons of Abraham’s race, and all you godfearers, this message of salvation is meant for you.
