Acts 2:23-28

New International Reader's Version

²³Long ago God planned that Jesus would be handed over to you. With the help of evil people, you put Jesus to death. You nailed him to the cross. ²⁴But God raised him from the dead. He set him free from the suffering of death. It wasn’t possible for death to keep its hold on Jesus. ²⁵David spoke about him. He said,

“ ‘I know that the Lord is always with me.
    Because he is at my right hand,
    I will always be secure.
²⁶So my heart is glad and joy is on my tongue.
    My whole body will be full of hope.
²⁷You will not leave me in the place of the dead.
    You will not let your holy one rot away.
²⁸You always show me the path that leads to life.
    You will fill me with joy when I am with you.’ (Psalm 16:8–11)
