Acts 2:27-37

27 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave or allow your holy one to decay.
28 You make the path of life known to me. In your presence there is complete joy.'
29 "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that our ancestor David died and was buried and that his tomb is here to this day.
30 David was a prophet and knew that God had promised with an oath that he would place one of David's descendants on his throne.
31 David knew that the Messiah would come back to life, and he spoke about that before it ever happened. He said that the Messiah wouldn't be left in the grave and that his body wouldn't decay.
32 "God brought this man Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses to that.
33 God used his power to give Jesus the highest position. Jesus has also received and has poured out the Holy Spirit as the Father had promised, and this is what you're seeing and hearing.
34 David didn't go up to heaven, but he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Take my highest position of power
35 until I put your enemies under your control."'
36 "All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37 When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"
