22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:

23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.

24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.

25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.

26For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell: nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David: that he died and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.

30Whereas therefore he was a prophet and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.

31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption.

32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.

33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

34For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand,

35Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
