²⁴But God raised him up, having released him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.^* ²⁵For 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.^* ³⁰Since 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.^* ³¹Foreseeing 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.^*
