John Calvin Commentary Acts 13:35

"Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption." — Acts 13:35 (ASV)

You shall not suffer Your Holy One. This passage was also cited by Peter in his first sermon, recorded by Luke in the second chapter (Acts 2:27), where I expounded on it; therefore, readers should refer to that discussion.

I will only touch on this briefly: David uses two Hebrew words for the grave, as he commonly uses repetitions. The former of which is derived from desiring or lusting, because the grave devours all things like an insatiable gulf; and the other from corruption. According to this etymology, David’s meaning is faithfully expressed in Greek; for the quality of the grave is noted when it receives the corpse and, as it were, swallows it up, so that it may rot there and eventually perish when it is consumed.

Paul affirms that this belongs to Christ alone: that He was free and saved from corruption. For though His body was laid in the grave, corruption, nevertheless, had no claim on it, since it lay there whole, as in a bed, until the day of the resurrection.
