Acts 13:23 - Exposition

Promise for his promise, A.V. ; brought for raised, A.V. and T.R. (comp. Isaiah 48:15 ; Hebrews 1:6 ). This verse leads to the great announcement which Paul had to make of the next great step in God's dealings with Israel, for which the pro- ceding ones of the redemption from Egyptian bondage, and the kingdom of David, were preparatory, viz. the actual coming of the Son of David, the Messiah, to save his people Israel.
