Paul quotes Psalm 16:10 in Acts 13, arguing Jesus's body did not decay — therefore the resurrection was physical and bodily, not merely visionary
Paul's bodily resurrection theology inferred from Acts 13
In Acts 13, Paul quotes Psalm 16:10 — "you will not allow your Holy One to see decay" — arguing this could not refer to David (who died and whose burial place is known) but to Jesus, whose body did not decay. This argument requires a physical, bodily resurrection. Paul is therefore teaching bodily resurrection, not a mere vision or spiritual appearance.
