A Prophecy Only Jesus Fulfilled
Commentators explain that Paul quotes Psalm 16:10 to prove Jesus's bodily resurrection. The prophecy states God's 'Holy One' would not see corruption (bodily decay). Since King David, the psalm's author, died and his body decayed, the prophecy could not be about him. It points directly to Jesus Christ, whose body was preserved in the tomb before He rose again, demonstrating His unique identity and victory over death.
