29“21BrothersG435 G80, I mayG1832 confidentlyG3954 sayG3004 to you regardingG4012 the 22patriarchG3966 DavidG1160 that he bothG2532 23diedG5053 and 24was buriedG2290, and 25his tombG3418 is 26with us to thisG3778 dayG2250. 30SoG3767 because he was 27a prophetG4396 and knewG3609 that 28GodG2316 had swornG3660 to him with an oathG3727 to seatG2523 one 29of his descendantsG2590 G3751 on his throneG2362, 31he lookedG4275 aheadG4275 and spokeG2980 of the resurrectionG386 of the 30ChristG5547, that 31He was neitherG3777 abandonedG1459 to HadesG86, norG3777 did His fleshG4561 32sufferG3708 decayG1312. 32It is thisG3778 JesusG2424 whom 33GodG2316 raisedG450 upG450, 34a fact to whichG3739 we are allG3956 35witnessesG3144.
