SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:23
De la simiente de ste, Dios, conforme a la promesa, levant a Jesus por Salvador a Israel;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 13:23
Verse 23. Of this man's seed hath God-raised-a saviour] That Jesus Christ came in a direct and indisputable line from David, according to both promise and prophecy, may be seen in the notes on Matt. i. 1, &c., and particularly in the notes at the end of Luke And that the Messiah was promised to come from the family of David, see Isa. xi. 1, 2, and Jer. xxiii. 5, 6.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Of this mans seed hath God, according to his promise , etc.] In ( 2 Samuel 7:12 <19D211> Psalm 132:11,17 Jeremiah 23:5,6) raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus; even Jesus of Nazareth, whose name signifies a Saviour, who is the son of David, according to the flesh; the word Jesus is left out in some copies, and so it is in the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, which only read, salvation or redemption; the Alexandrian copy, and the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, read, he hath brought forth unto Israel, etc. the sense is, that as God had promised that the Messiah should spring out of Davids loins, so in the fulness of time he had sent him, or caused him to come by the assumption of human nature, or by taking flesh of a virgin, who was of the house and lineage of David; and who was sent, and came first to the people of Israel, though they for the most part slighted and rejected him; however, he was raised up for the mystical Israel of God, all the elect, whether Jews or Gentiles; and that to be the Saviour of them, from sin, Satan, and the law, and every enemy, with a spiritual and eternal salvation, and that both of body and soul; and a very able, willing, and suitable Saviour he is, as well as a perfect and complete one. This Saviour, Jehovah, in his infinite wisdom, found, and in his purposes appointed him to be his salvation, and in his covenant provided and settled him as such; and in the prophecies of the Old Testament spoke of him as the Saviour and Redeemer of his people; and in the fulness of time sent him, and raised him up of Davids seed, according to his promise to him. The first promise of a Saviour was made to our first parents, under the character of the seed of the woman; he was next promised to Abraham, that he should be of his seed; and then to Judah, that he should be of his tribe; and after that to David, that he should be of his family; and all this has been fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth, the true Messiah, who is sometimes called David and Davids son. Now it was for the sake of this, that the apostle begins with the choice of the Jewish fathers, and relates so many favours bestowed upon the people of Israel; his view was to lead on to observe this special mercy promised them, and now fulfilled, on which he intended to enlarge in his discourse, as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-31 - When we come together to worship God, we must do it, not only by praye and praise, but by the reading and hearing of the word of God. The bar reading of the Scriptures in public assemblies is not enough; the should be expounded, and the people exhorted out of them. This i helping people in doing that which is necessary to make the wor profitable, to apply it to themselves. Every thing is touched upon in this sermon, which might best prevail with Jews to receive and embrac Christ as the promised Messiah. And every view, however short or faint of the Lord's dealings with his church, reminds us of his mercy an long-suffering, and of man's ingratitude and perverseness. Paul passe from David to the Son of David, and shows that this Jesus is his promised Seed; a Saviour to do that for them, which the judges of ol could not do, to save them from their sins, their worst enemies. When the apostles preached Christ as the Saviour, they were so far from concealing his death, that they always preached Christ crucified. Ou complete separation from sin, is represented by our being buried with Christ. But he rose again from the dead, and saw no corruption: thi was the great truth to be preached.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:23 {Of this man's seed} (toutou apo tou spermatos). Emphatic position of toutou. Of this one from the (his) seed. {According to promise} (kat' epaggelian). this phrase in #Ga 3:29; 2Ti 1:1. See the promise in #2Sa 7:2; Ps 132:11; Isa 11:1,10; Jer 23:5f.; Zec 3:8. In #Zec 3:8 the verb ag" is used of the sending of the Messiah as here. {A Savior Jesus} (swtera iesoun). Jesus is in apposition with Savior (accusative case) and comes at the end of the sentence in contrast with " this man" (David) at the beginning. Paul goes no further than David because he suggests to him Jesus, descendant in the flesh from David. By "Israel" here Paul means the Jewish people, though he will later enlarge this promise to include the spiritual Israel both Gentile and Jew (#Ro 9:6f.).
