The Greek word used here is "ekplēroō," which means to complete or accomplish fully. This highlights the idea that God's plans are not left unfinished; He brings them to completion. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding of God as a covenant-keeping deity, who fulfills His promises to His people, as seen throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>for us</b><br />This phrase personalizes the fulfillment of God's promise, indicating that it is not just a historical or abstract event but one that has direct implications for the believers. The use of "us" includes the audience of the time, both Jews and Gentiles, and by extension, all believers. It emphasizes the inclusivity of God's salvation plan.<p><b>their children</b><br />This refers to the descendants of the patriarchs, the Israelites. The promise was made to the forefathers, and its fulfillment is seen in their offspring. This phrase connects the present generation with the past, showing continuity in God's dealings with His people. It also reflects the Jewish understanding of generational blessings and the importance of lineage.<p><b>by raising up Jesus</b><br />The resurrection of Jesus is the central event in Christian theology, signifying victory over sin and death. The Greek word "anistēmi" is used here, which means to raise up or to stand up. This not only refers to the physical resurrection but also to the exaltation of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that transformed the early Christian community and became the cornerstone of their faith and proclamation.<p><b>As it is written in the second Psalm</b><br />This phrase indicates the fulfillment of prophecy, showing that the events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were foretold in the Scriptures. The reference to the "second Psalm" highlights the importance of the Psalms in early Christian apologetics and their use in demonstrating Jesus as the Messiah. It also reflects the Jewish tradition of interpreting the Psalms as prophetic and messianic.<p><b>'You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.'</b><br />This quotation from <a href="/psalms/2-7.htm">Psalm 2:7</a> is a declaration of Jesus' divine sonship and His unique relationship with the Father. The phrase "You are My Son" affirms the identity of Jesus as the Son of God, a central tenet of Christian belief. The phrase "today I have become Your Father" can be understood as a reference to the resurrection, where Jesus is publicly declared and vindicated as the Son of God. This reflects the early Christian understanding of Jesus' resurrection as a divine endorsement of His mission and identity.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/acts/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(33) <span class= "bld">God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children.</span>--The better MSS. give, with hardly an exception, <span class= "ital">unto our children, </span>and the Received text must be regarded as having been made to obtain what seemed a more natural meaning. St. Paul's language, however, is but an echo of St. Peter's "to us and to our children," in <a href="/acts/2-39.htm" title="For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.">Acts 2:39</a>.<p><span class= "bld">As it is also written in the second psalm.</span>--The various-reading, "in the <span class= "ital">first</span> Psalm," given by some MSS. is interesting, as showing that in some copies of the Old Testament, what is now the first Psalm was treated as a kind of prelude to the whole book, the numeration beginning with what is now the second.<p><span class= "bld">Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.</span>--Historically, Psalms 2 appears as a triumph-song, written to celebrate the victory of a king of Israel or Judah--David, or Solomon, or another--over his enemies. The king had been shown by that day of victory to have been the chosen son of God--the day itself was a new begetting, manifesting the sonship. So, in the higher fulfilment which St. Paul finds in Christ, he refers the words, not primarily to the Eternal Generation of the Son of God, "begotten before all worlds," nor to the Incarnation, but to the day of victory over rulers and priests, over principalities and powers, over death and Hades. The Resurrection manifested in the antitype, as the victory had done in the type, a pre-existing sonship; but it was to those who witnessed it, or heard of it, as the ground on which their faith in that sonship rested. Christ was to them the "firstborn of every creature," because He was also "the firstborn from the dead." (See Notes on <a href="/colossians/1-15.htm" title=" Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:">Colossians 1:15</a>; <a href="/colossians/1-18.htm" title=" And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.">Colossians 1:18</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 33.</span> - How <span class="accented">that God</span> for <span class="accented">God</span>, A.V.

Our children. The reading of the R.T. is not adopted by Meyer or Alford, and is scarcely an improvement upon the T.R. There can be no reasonable doubt that <span class="greek">ἀναστήσας</span>, raised up, means here, as in ver. 44, raised from the dead. Observe with what skill the apostle speaks of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God's promise to their fathers, which it was to be presumed they were anxiously expecting. The second psalm. Many manuscripts and editions have, "the first," because the first psalm was often reckoned not numerically but as an introduction to the whole book, so that the second psalm was numbered as the first. This is probably the reason why the eighteen psalms as reckoned by the Jews include <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19</a>, though Joshua ben Levi explains it by the rejection of the second psalm, on account, no doubt, of its testimony to Messiah as God's begotten Son. But the rabbins generally acknowledge the application of this psalm to Messiah (Lightfoot, 'Exercit. on the Acts'). <span class="cmt_word">Thou art my Son</span>, etc. This application of the second psalm to the Resurrection is best explained by <a href="/romans/1-4.htm">Romans 1:4</a>. The reference in both passages to David is remarkable (vers. 22, 23). Christ, who was begotten of the Father before all worlds, was declared before men and angels to be the Son of God, when he was raised from the dead in the power of an endless life. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/acts/13-33.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">[He]</span><br /><span class="grk">Θεὸς</span> <span class="translit">(Theos)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2316.htm">Strong's 2316: </a> </span><span class="str2">A deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">has fulfilled</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐκπεπλήρωκεν</span> <span class="translit">(ekpeplērōken)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Perfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1603.htm">Strong's 1603: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fill completely, fulfill in every particular (to the utmost), make good.
