Acts 2:22-36

22“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, wonders, and miraculous signs that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know –

23this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles.

24But God raised him up, having released him from the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.

25For David says about him, ‘I saw the Lord always in front of me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.

26Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; my body also will live in hope,

27because you will not leave my soul in Hades, nor permit your Holy One to experience decay.

28You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of joy with your presence.’

29“Brothers, I can speak confidently to you about our forefather David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30So then, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,

31David by foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his body experience decay.

32This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it.

33So then, exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you both see and hear.

34For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand

35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.”
