Acts 2:22–36

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you ^rby miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—²³Him, ^sbeing delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, ^tyou ⁶have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; ^24uwhom God raised up, having ⁷loosed the ⁸pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. ²⁵For David says concerning Him:

^v‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,

For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

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

Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

²⁷For You will not leave my soul in Hades,

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see ^wcorruption.

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

You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’

²⁹“Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you ^xof the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. ³⁰Therefore, being a prophet, ^yand knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, ⁹according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, ³¹he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, ^zthat His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. ^32aThis Jesus God has raised up, ^bof which we are all witnesses. ³³Therefore ^cbeing exalted ¹to ^dthe right hand of God, and ^ehaving received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He ^fpoured out this which you now see and hear.

³⁴“For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:

^g‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand,

³⁵Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

³⁶“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
