Acts 2:22-31

22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, ¹a man attested to you by God ²with ³mighty works and wonders and signs that ⁴God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know--

23 this Jesus, ⁵delivered up according to ⁶the definite plan and ⁷foreknowledge of God, ⁸you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.

24 ⁹God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because ¹⁰it was not possible for him to be held by it.

25 For David says concerning him, ¹¹"'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;

26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell ¹²in hope.

27 For you will not abandon my soul to ¹³Hades, ¹⁴or let your ¹⁵Holy One ¹⁶see corruption.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.'

29 "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ¹⁷the patriarch David ¹⁸that he both died and ¹⁹was buried, and ²⁰his tomb is with us to this day.

30 ²¹Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that ²²God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that ²³he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
