Acts 2:22-32

22 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: 1Jesus the Nazarene, 2a man attested to you by God with miracles and 3wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know -
23 this Man, delivered over by the 4predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, 5you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.
24 "But 6God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it 7was impossible * for Him to be held in its power.
25 "For David says of Him, '8I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS * IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
26 'THEREFORE * MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER * MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE;
27 BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO 9HADES, 10NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.
28 'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'
29 "Brethren *, I may confidently say to you regarding the 11patriarch David that he both 12died and 13was buried, and 14his tomb is with us to this day.
30 "And so, because he was 15a prophet and knew that 16GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS * ON HIS THRONE,
31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that 17HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.
32 "This Jesus 18God raised up again, to which we are all 19witnesses.
