Acts 2:27-33

27Because You will not abandon my soul to 1Hades, 2Nor 3allow Your 4Holy One to 5undergo decay.28You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’

29“6Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the 7patriarch David that he both 8died and 9was buried, and 10his tomb is 11with us to this day. 30And so, because he was 12a prophet and knew that 13God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one 14of his descendants on his throne, 31he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of 15the Christ, that 16He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh 17suffer decay. 32This Jesus 18God raised up again, to which we are all 19witnesses. 33Therefore having been exalted 20 21to the right hand of God, and 22having received from the Father 23the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has 24poured forth this which you both see and hear.
