Acts 2:24-32

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.
