Acts 2:22–32

22 “Fellow Israelites,h listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth,i a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know*—23 this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law.* 24 But God raised him up, having released him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.* 25 For David says concerning him,

‘I saw the Lord always before me,

for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;*

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

moreover, my flesh will live in hope.

27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades

or let your Holy One experience corruption.*

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

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

29 “Fellow Israelites,j I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.* 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne.* 31 Foreseeing this, Davidk spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,l saying,

‘He was not abandoned to Hades,

nor did his flesh experience corruption.’*

32 “This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.*
