Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus The word "his" has no place in the Greek text, and the oldest MSS. for "raised" read "brought."

The promise alluded to here is preserved for us in Psalms 132:11, "Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy seat," and in many other similar declarations in the prophets. Cp. Zechariah 3:8-9.
