Acts 2:22–36

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, ^da man attested to you by God ^ewith ^fmighty works and wonders and signs that ^gGod did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— ²³this Jesus,^{4 h}delivered up according to ⁱthe definite plan and ^jforeknowledge of God, ^kyou crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. ^24lGod raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ^mit was not possible for him to be held by it. ²⁵For David says concerning him,

ⁿ“ ‘I saw the Lord always before me,

for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;

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

my flesh also will dwell ^oin hope.

²⁷For you will not abandon my soul to ^pHades,

^qor let your ^rHoly One ^ssee corruption.

²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;

you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ^tthe patriarch David ^uthat he both died and ^vwas buried, and ^whis tomb is with us to this day. ^30xBeing therefore a prophet, and knowing that ^yGod had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, ³¹he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that ^zhe was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. ³²This Jesus ^aGod raised up, ^band of that we all are witnesses. ^33cBeing therefore ^dexalted at the right hand of God, and having received from ^ethe Father ^fthe promise of the Holy Spirit, ^ghe has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. ³⁴For ^hDavid did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

ⁱ“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

³⁵until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’

³⁶Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that ^jGod has made him ^kboth Lord and Christ, this Jesus ^lwhom you crucified.”
