What Does Acts 13:37 Mean?
Paul completes the argument: the one whom God raised, Jesus, saw no corruption. Where David's body decayed in the grave, Christ's did not, for God raised Him before decay could touch Him. The psalm's promise belongs to Him alone.
Jesus is the Holy One the Scriptures foretold, the one whom death could not corrupt. The contrast with David is plain and complete: the servant died and decayed, but the Savior rose untouched by the grave. This is the heart of Paul's witness, that Christ has conquered death itself. In Him the ancient promise is kept, and the hope of incorruption now belongs to all who are joined to Him.
