²⁴But God brought him from death back to life and destroyed the pains of death, because death had no power to hold him. ²⁵This is what David meant when he said about Jesus:

‘I always see the Lord in front of me.

I cannot be moved because he is by my side.

²⁶That is why my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices.

My body also rests securely

²⁷because you do not abandon my soul to the grave

or allow your holy one to decay.

²⁸You make the path of life known to me.

In your presence there is complete joy.’

²⁹“Brothers, I can tell you confidently that our ancestor David died and was buried and that his tomb is here to this day. ³⁰David was a prophet and knew that God had promised with an oath that he would place one of David’s descendants on his throne. ³¹David knew that the Messiah would come back to life, and he spoke about that before it ever happened. He said that the Messiah wouldn’t be left in the grave and that his body wouldn’t decay.

³²“God brought this man Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses to that.
