Acts 2:25-38

25For DavidG1160 saysG3004 of Him, ‘1I sawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223G3956 in my presenceG1799; For He is at my rightG1188 handG1188, soG2443 that I will not be shakenG4531.26ThereforeG1223G3778 my heartG2588 was gladG2165 and my tongueG1100 exultedG21; MoreoverG2089G1161 my fleshG4561 alsoG2532 will liveG2681 in hopeG1680;27BecauseG3754 You will not abandonG1459 my soulG5590 to 2HadesG86, 3NorG3761 4allowG1325 Your 5HolyG3741 OneG3741 to 6undergoG3708 decayG1312.28You have madeG1107 knownG1107 to me the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; You will makeG4137 me fullG4137 of gladnessG2167 with Your presenceG4383.’

29“7BrethrenG435G80, I mayG1832 confidentlyG3954 sayG3004 to you regardingG4012 the 8patriarchG3966 DavidG1160 that he bothG2532 9diedG5053 and 10was buriedG2290, and 11his tombG3418 is 12with us to thisG3778 dayG2250. 30And soG3767, because he was 13a prophetG4396 and knewG3609 that 14GodG2316 had swornG3660 to him with an oathG3727 to seatG2523 one 15of his descendantsG2590G3751 on his throneG2362, 31he lookedG4275 aheadG4275 and spokeG2980 of the resurrectionG386 of 16the ChristG5547, that 17He was neitherG3777 abandonedG1459 to HadesG86, norG3777 did His fleshG4561 18sufferG3708 decayG1312. 32ThisG3778 JesusG2424 19GodG2316 raisedG450 up againG450, to whichG3739 we are allG3956 20witnessesG3144. 33ThereforeG3767 having been exaltedG5312 2122to the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, and 23having receivedG2983 from the FatherG3962 24the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, He has 25pouredG1632 forthG1632 thisG3778 whichG3739 you bothG2532 seeG991 and hearG191. 34For it was not DavidG1160 who ascendedG305 into 26heavenG3772, but he himselfG846 saysG3004: ‘27The LordG2962 saidG3004 to my LordG2962, “SitG2521 at My rightG1188 handG1188,35UntilG2193 I makeG5087 Your enemiesG2190 a footstoolG5286 for Your feetG4228.”’ 36ThereforeG3767 let allG3956 the 28houseG3624 of IsraelG2274 knowG1097 for certainG806 that GodG2316 has madeG4160 Him bothG2532 29LordG2962 and 30ChristG5547--thisG3778 JesusG2424 31whomG3739 you crucifiedG4717.”

37NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were 32piercedG2660 to the heartG2588, and saidG3004 to PeterG4074 and the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, “33BrethrenG435G80, 3435whatG5101 shall we doG4160?” 38PeterG4074 said to them, “36RepentG3340, and eachG1538 of you be 37baptizedG907 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for the forgivenessG859 of your sinsG266; and you will receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.
