Acts chapter 13 v27-31:
V27: The rejection of this Saviour by the leaders of the Jews and the people of Jerusalem generally was itself a fulfilment of OT prophecy, Paul goes on – the prophecies so familiar to them ( and to this synagogue congregation ) yet not understood by them and rejected. ( Compare John 5 v 39-40.)
V28: Though He was innocent of every charge, they put pressure on Pilate to condemn Jesus.
V29: But all they did was foretold in OT Scripture, and fulfilled in the Lord’s death on the tree – the accursed death, remember, as He bore the curse to redeem His people.( Galatians 3 v13.) And then he was laid in the tomb.
V30-31: But God raised Him from the dead, and for many days ( 40, we learn elsewhere ) He was seen by His chosen witnesses, above all by the Apostles, who now give their eye-witness testimony to the truth they proclaim.
