Context of Acts 2:23
21And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of [the] Lord shall be saved. 22Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know — him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by [the] hand of lawless [men], have crucified and slain. 24Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power; 25for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.
