35until I put your enemies under your control.” ’
Acts 2:35 in other versions
Context of Acts 2:35
33God the Father used his power to give Jesus the honored position—the one next to him on the heavenly throne. Jesus has also received and has poured out the Holy Spirit as the Father had promised, and this is what you’re seeing and hearing. 34David didn’t go up to heaven, but he said, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne— until I put your enemies under your control.” ’ 36“All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
