Acts 2:22-32 ⓘ

2:22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him amongst you, even as you yourselves know,

2:23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

2:24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

2:25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

2:26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

2:27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

2:28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

2:29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

2:30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

2:31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.

2:32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
