21Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, `I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.`
23From this man`s seed, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
24before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25As John was fulfilling his course, he said, `What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, there comes one after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.`
26Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent forth to you.
27For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn`t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
