Acts 2:24-36

24 1But 2GodG2316 raisedG450 Him up againG450, puttingG3089 an endG3089 to the 3agonyG5604 of deathG2288, sinceG2530 it 4was impossibleG3756 G1415 for Him to be heldG2902 5in its powerG5259. 25For DavidG1160 saysG3004 of Him, ‘6I sawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223 G3956 in my presenceG1799; For He is at my rightG1188 handG1188, soG2443 that I will not be shakenG4531.26ThereforeG1223 G3778 my heartG2588 was gladG2165 and my tongueG1100 exultedG21; MoreoverG2089 G1161 my fleshG4561 alsoG2532 will liveG2681 in hopeG1680;27BecauseG3754 You will not abandonG1459 my soulG5590 to 7HadesG86, 8NorG3761 9allowG1325 Your 10HolyG3741 OneG3741 to 11undergoG3708 decayG1312.28You have madeG1107 knownG1107 to me the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; You will makeG4137 me fullG4137 of gladnessG2167 with Your presenceG4383.’

29“12BrethrenG435 G80, I mayG1832 confidentlyG3954 sayG3004 to you regardingG4012 the 13patriarchG3966 DavidG1160 that he bothG2532 14diedG5053 and 15was buriedG2290, and 16his tombG3418 is 17with us to thisG3778 dayG2250. 30And soG3767, because he was 18a prophetG4396 and knewG3609 that 19GodG2316 had swornG3660 to him with an oathG3727 to seatG2523 one 20of his descendantsG2590 G3751 on his throneG2362, 31he lookedG4275 aheadG4275 and spokeG2980 of the resurrectionG386 of 21the ChristG5547, that 22He was neitherG3777 abandonedG1459 to HadesG86, norG3777 did His fleshG4561 23sufferG3708 decayG1312. 32ThisG3778 JesusG2424 24GodG2316 raisedG450 up againG450, to whichG3739 we are allG3956 25witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767 having been exaltedG5312 26 27to the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, and 28having receivedG2983 from the FatherG3962 29the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, He has 30pouredG1632 forthG1632 thisG3778 whichG3739 you bothG2532 seeG991 and hearG191. 34For it was not DavidG1160 who ascendedG305 into 31heavenG3772, but he himselfG846 saysG3004: ‘32The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188,35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 Your enemiesG2190 a footstoolG5286 for Your feetG4228.”’ 36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 the 33houseG3624 of IsraelG2274 knowG1097 for certainG806 that GodG2316 has madeG4160 Him bothG2532 34LordG2962 and 35ChristG5547--thisG3778 JesusG2424 36whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717.”
