22
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23
him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,
24
whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25
For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved,
26
therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope
27
because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29
Men
and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30
Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne;
31
he, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32
This Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses.
