Acts 2:22-32

New American Standard Bible

²²“Men of Israel, listen to these words: ^(A)Jesus the Nazarene, ^(B)a Man ^[a]attested to you by God with ^[b]miracles and ^(C)wonders and ^[c]signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— ²³this Man, delivered over by the ^(D)predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, ^(E)you nailed to a cross by the hands of ^[d]godless men and put Him to death. ²⁴^[e]But ^(F)God raised Him from the dead, putting an end to the ^[f]agony of death, since it ^(G)was impossible for Him to be held ^[g]in its power. ²⁵For David says of Him,

‘^(H)I saw the Lord continually before me,
Because He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.
²⁶Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue was overjoyed;
Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;
²⁷For You will not abandon my soul to ^(I)Hades,
^(J)Nor will You ^[h]allow Your ^[i]Holy One to ^[j]undergo decay.
²⁸You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’

²⁹“^[k]Brothers, I may confidently say to you regarding the ^(K)patriarch David that he both ^(L)died and ^(M)was buried, and ^(N)his tomb is ^[l]with us to this day. ³⁰So because he was ^(O)a prophet and knew that ^(P)God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one ^[m]of his descendants on his throne, ³¹he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the ^[n]Christ, that ^(Q)He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh ^[o]suffer decay. ³²It is this Jesus whom ^(R)God raised up, ^[p]a fact to which we are all ^(S)witnesses.
