Acts 2:22-36

22MenG435 of IsraelG2475, listen toG191 thisG3778 messageG3056: JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3480 was a manG435 certifiedG584 byG575 GodG2316 toG1519 youG4771 by miraclesG1411 , wondersG5059, andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 among youG1722 G4771 G3319 throughG1223 HimG846, asG2531 you yourselvesG846 knowG1492. 23HeG3778 was delivered upG1560 byG3588 God’sG3588 G2316 setG3724 planG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268, and you, byG1223 the handsG5495 of the lawlessG459, put Him to deathG337 by nailing Him to the crossG4362. 24But GodG2316 raised Him from the deadG3739 G450, releasingG3089 Him from theG3588 agonyG5604 ofG3588 deathG2288, becauseG2530 it wasG1510 impossibleG3756 G1415 for death to keepG2902 HimG846 inG5259 its gripG846.

DavidG1138 saysG3004 aboutG1519 HimG846:

‘I sawG4308 1 theG3588 LordG2962 alwaysG1223 G3956 beforeG1799 meG1473;becauseG3754 He isG1510 atG1537 myG1473 right handG1188, I will not be shakenG2443 G3361 G4531.26ThereforeG1223 G3778 myG1473 heartG2588 is gladG2165 andG2532 myG1473 tongueG1100 rejoicesG21 ;myG1473 bodyG4561 alsoG2532 will dwellG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680,27becauseG3754 You will not abandonG3756 G1459 myG1473 soulG5590 toG1519 HadesG86,norG3761 will You letG1325 YourG4771 Holy OneG3741 seeG3708 decayG1312.28You have made knownG1107 to meG1473 the pathsG3598 of lifeG2222;You will fillG4137 meG1473 with joyG2167 inG3326 YourG4771 presenceG4383.’2

29BrothersG435 G80, I canG1832 tellG2036 youG4314 G4771 with confidenceG3326 G3954 thatG3754 theG3588 patriarchG3966 DavidG1138 diedG5053 andG2532 was buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 tombG3418 isG1510 withG1722 usG1473 toG891 thisG3778 dayG2250. 30But he wasG5225 a prophetG4396 andG2532 knewG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had promisedG3660 himG846 on oathG3727 that He would placeG2523 one ofG1537 his descendants onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362.3 31Foreseeing thisG4308, David spokeG2980 aboutG4012 theG3588 resurrectionG386 of theG3588 ChristG5547, thatG3754 He was not abandonedG3777 G1459 toG1519 HadesG86, norG3777 did HisG846 bodyG4561 seeG3708 decayG1312. 32 GodG2316 has raisedG450 thisG3778 Jesus to lifeG2424, to whichG3739 weG1473 areG1510 allG3956 witnessesG3144.

33ExaltedG5312, thenG3767, to theG3588 right handG1188 of GodG2316 , He has receivedG2983 fromG3844 theG3588 FatherG3962 theG3588 promisedG1860 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and has poured outG1632 whatG3739 youG4771 nowG2532 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191. 34ForG1063 DavidG1138 did notG3756 ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772, butG1161 he himselfG846 saysG3004:

‘TheG3588 LordG2962 saidG2036 toG3588 myG1473 LordG2962,“SitG2521 atG1537 MyG1473 right handG118835untilG2193 G302 I makeG5087 YourG4771 enemiesG2190a footstoolG5286 forG3588 YourG4771 feetG4228.”’4

36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 IsraelG3624 G2474 knowG1097 with certaintyG806 thatG3754 GodG2316 has madeG4160 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 youG4771 crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547!”
