In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
Christ rose once for all and lives forever, never to see death again, for His perpetual life belongs to us as well. The promise to David of eternal grace must mean an eternal King; the whole force of salvation's stability rests on His immortal kingdom, not subject to corruption or change.

Perga in Pamphylia was a noted place, especially for a temple there erected to the goddess Diana, yet nothing at all is related of what Paul and Barnabas did there, only that thither they came (Act 13:13), and thence they departed, Act 13:14.
Commenting on Acts 13:14-41
Christ did not lie in the grave long enough to corrupt and decay; He rose the third day, and this proves the Messiah must rise from the dead, exactly as Isaiah foresaw.
