Acts 2:22–36

²²Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know ²³—him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of lawless men, have crucified and slain. ²⁴Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power; ²⁵for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved. ²⁶Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope, ²⁷for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption. ²⁸Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance. ²⁹Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day. ³⁰Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne; ³¹he, seeing it before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. ³²This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses. ³³Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye behold and hear. ³⁴For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand ³⁵until I have put thine enemies to be the footstool of thy feet. ³⁶Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
