And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of 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.

Luke passes over Perga in silence, though Diana's temple stood there, because the whole world could not contain all that might be written. Paul and Barnabas went straight to the synagogue at Antioch, not to curry favor with magistrates, but to the Jews themselves, proving their true care for their souls. This was always the way: to show how the New Testament flows directly from the Old, which the Jews already held sacred.
