24whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25For David saith concerning him,

I beheld the Lord always before my face;

For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

26Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;

Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

27Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades,

Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou madest known unto me the ways of life;

Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

29Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day. 30Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne; 31he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. 34For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself,

The Lord said unto my Lord,

Sit thou on my right hand,

35Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

36Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
