Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 13:33

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second p[illegible: 1 letter]alm, Thou art my son , this day have I begotten thee.

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 Resurrrection; and there is ground for it in the context: for the Resurrection of Christ, is that which in the 30. verse is propounded by St. Paul, as his theam or argument to Preach upon.

These words quoted, tho they do not seem to be a proof of Christs Resurrection at the first view; yet if we weigh them well, they answer St. Pauls purpose; Thou art my son, Psalm 2 ver. 7. is ushered in with; I have made thee King, ver. 6. and followed with, I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, which was in especial manner to be fulfilled after the Resurrection; as our Saviour manifests, Matth. 28 18, 19.

Not as if Christ at his Resurrection began to be the Son of God; but then he was manifested to be so, Rom. 1.4. which before, whilest 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.
