The speaker, Paul, is addressing a Jewish audience in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch, demonstrating the fulfillment of prophecy through Jesus Christ. The "another Psalm" refers to <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, a messianic psalm attributed to David. This method of using scripture to validate claims about Jesus was common in early Christian preaching, as it connected Jesus' life and mission to the Jewish scriptures, which were authoritative for the audience.<p><b>‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’</b><br>This prophecy is a direct quote from <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which is understood to refer to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The term "Holy One" is a title that signifies someone set apart by God, and in this context, it is applied to Jesus, affirming His divine nature and mission. The phrase "see decay" refers to physical decomposition after death. In the historical context, David, who wrote the psalm, did experience decay after his death, but Jesus, as the fulfillment of this prophecy, did not, as He was resurrected on the third day. This serves as a powerful testament to Jesus' victory over death and His identity as the Messiah. The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith, confirming Jesus' divine authority and the promise of eternal life for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>A key figure in the early Christian church, Paul is delivering a sermon in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch, explaining the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The Psalm referenced is attributed to King David, who was a central figure in Israel's history and a forefather of Jesus according to the flesh.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>Referred to as the "Holy One," Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecy that He would not see decay, emphasizing His resurrection.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/pisidian_antioch.htm">Pisidian Antioch</a></b><br>A city in the region of Galatia where Paul and Barnabas preached during their first missionary journey.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalm_16.htm">Psalm 16</a></b><br>The specific Psalm being quoted, which is a prophetic Psalm of David pointing to the resurrection of the Messiah.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_fulfillment_of_prophecy.htm">The Fulfillment of Prophecy</a></b><br><a href="/acts/13-35.htm">Acts 13:35</a> highlights the importance of understanding Jesus' resurrection as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, affirming the reliability of Scripture.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_resurrection_as_central_to_faith.htm">The Resurrection as Central to Faith</a></b><br>The resurrection of Jesus is central to Christian faith, providing assurance of eternal life and victory over sin and death.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_scripture_in_evangelism.htm">The Role of Scripture in Evangelism</a></b><br>Paul's use of Scripture in his sermon demonstrates the power of God's Word in explaining and defending the faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_continuity_of_god's_plan.htm">The Continuity of God's Plan</a></b><br>The connection between the Old and New Testaments shows the continuity of God's redemptive plan through history.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_the_resurrection.htm">Hope in the Resurrection</a></b><br>Believers can find hope and assurance in the promise of resurrection, knowing that death is not the end for those in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_acts_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Acts 13</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_a_christian_community.htm">What defines a Christian community?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_view_on_premarital_sex.htm">What is the Bible's stance on premarital sex?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_psalms_foreshadow_jesus.htm">How do Psalms foreshadow Jesus Christ's life and mission?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_acts_13_36-37_align_with_scripture.htm">Acts 13:36–37: Paul claims David “saw corruption” while Jesus did not; how is this consistent with other scriptural passages about bodily decay and resurrection?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/acts/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(35) <span class= "bld">Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.</span>--See Notes on the prophecy so cited in <a href="/context/acts/2-25.htm" title="For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:">Acts 2:25-31</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 35.</span> <span class="accented">- Because</span> for <span class="accented">wherefore</span>, A.V. and T.R.; <span class="accented">thou wilt not give</span> for <span class="accented">thou shalt not suffer</span>, A.V.
