<p>13:37 <i>But he whom God raised up saw no corruption</i>- As noted on :36, the superiority of Messiah over David had to be emphasized to a Jewish audience. The 'not seeing corruption' does not have to refer to the Lord's physical body being somehow preserved from corruption by embalming. He saw / experienced no corruption after His resurrection because He was immortalized. Psalm 16 expresses David's personal hope of resurrection out of the grave, where he envisaged &quot;my flesh shall rest in hope&quot; (Ps. 16:9). But he understands this as being possible because of what he writes in Ps. 16:10: &quot;For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will You allow Your holy one to see corruption&quot;. &quot;My soul&quot; and the Messianic &quot;holy one&quot; are related, paralleled, but not identical. David would not remain in the grave because Yahweh's Holy One, Messiah, would not see corruption. David did &quot;see corruption&quot;, as Paul and Peter state clearly. But David perceived that through identity with his great son, Messiah, he would be resurrected on account of Messiah's salvation from death. And we make that association through baptism into His death and resurrection. We too, as well as David, can therefore have remission of sins and resurrection proclaimed to us in the Gospel (:38).</p>
