Acts 13:35 → Psalms 16:10

Paul, preaching in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch, reuses Peter's Pentecost argument (Acts 2:25-31) in compressed form, citing only the second colon of Ps 16:10 from the LXX: "You will not let Your Holy One see corruption" (διαφθοράν). The pesher-structure is identical to Peter's: David, "after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep… and saw corruption, but He whom God raised up did not see corruption" (Acts 13:36-37) — the words cannot terminate on David, so David spoke as a prophet of his greater Son. The reuse across both founding-apostle sermons establishes Ps 16:10 as the apostolic pattern for preaching Christ's resurrection from the OT to Jewish audiences. And Paul's sentence does not end at the proof: "through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you; through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify you" (vv. 38-39) — the corruption-free Christ preached unto forgiveness and justification. The method is Promise-Fulfillment read prosopologically, not typology: a type must be genuinely instantiated in its OT bearer, and Paul's argument requires the clause to be empirically false of David.
