Acts 2:29-35
English Standard Version
29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (A)the patriarch David (B)that he both died and (C)was buried, and (D)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (E)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (F)God 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 (G)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (H)God raised up, (I)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (J)Being therefore (K)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (L)the Father (M)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (N)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For (O)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
(P)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
Acts 2:29-35
New Living Translation
29 “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn’t referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us. 30 But he was a prophet, and he knew God had promised with an oath that one of David’s own descendants would sit on his throne. 31 David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave.
32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 33 Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God’s right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. 34 For David himself never ascended into heaven, yet he said,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
35 until I humble your enemies,
making them a footstool under your feet.”’[a]
