📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Paul is preaching in a synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia, retelling the story of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies to a Jewish audience. He references Psalm 16 to contrast King David, who died and decayed in the grave, with Jesus, who was raised by God and did not experience corruption. This speech occurs during the early Christian missionary journeys, as the apostles spread the Gospel across the Roman Empire.
