Acts 2:22–36

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^*—²³this 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;^*

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

moreover, my flesh will live in hope.

²⁷For you will not abandon my soul to Hades

or let your Holy One experience corruption.^*

²⁸You 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, David^k 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.^{* 33}Being therefore exalted at^m the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you see and hear.^{* 34}For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,^*

³⁵until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’

³⁶“Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,ⁿ this Jesus whom you crucified.”
