Acts 2:29-37

29"Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

31he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

32This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.

33Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

34For 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."'

36Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."

37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
