³⁰But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. He had taken an oath that someone in David’s family line would be king after him. ³¹David saw what was ahead. So he spoke about the Christ rising from the dead. He said that the Christ would not be left in the grave. His body wouldn’t rot in the ground. ³²God has raised this same Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses of this. ³³Jesus has been given a place of honor at the right hand of God. He has received the Holy Spirit from the Father. This is what God had promised. It is Jesus who has poured out what you now see and hear.
