Acts 2:29-37

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.”

37Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?”
