ACTS 13:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.”
When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb — the burial narrative recalls the prophetic type of Jonah (Matthew 12:40) and Isaiah 53:9 (burial with the rich). The phrase all that was written (panta ta gegrammenā) emphasizes Scripture's comprehensiveness in foretelling redemption's events.
Church Fathers on Acts 13:29
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of Him, they took Him down from the tree, and laid Him in a sepulchre. But God raised Him from the dead. And He was seen many days of them which came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses unto the people — Acts 13:29-31 that He rose again.
