Raised up Jesus again; some refer these words to the incarnation, others to the resurrection, of our Saviour: our translators lay the stress upon the preposition, with which the verb is compounded, and by adding again, intend it to be understood of the resurrection; and there is ground for it in the context; for the resurrection of Christ is that which in Acts 13:30 is propounded by St. Paul as his theme or argument to preach upon. Thou art my Son; these words quoted, though they do not seem to be a proof of Christ's resurrection at the first view, yet if we weigh them well, they answer St. Paul's purpose: Thou art my Son, Psalms 2:7, is ushered in with, I have made thee king, Acts 13:6, and followed with, I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance; which was in an especial manner to be fulfilled after the resurrection, as our Saviour manifests, Matthew 28:18,19. This day have I begotten thee; not as if Christ at his resurrection began to be the Son of God; but then he was manifested to be so, Romans 1:4; which before, whilst he was in a suffering condition was not so apparent. Some of the ancients have understood these words, of the eternal generation of the Son of God; eternity being an everlasting point, and one and the same day for ever.
