29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (A)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, (B)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [a]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, (C)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (D)This Jesus God has raised up, (E)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (F)being exalted [b]to (G)the right hand of God, and (H)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (I)poured out this which you now see and hear.

34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:

(J)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

As it is also written in the second Psalm:

(D)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’

34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [a]corruption, He has spoken thus:

(E)‘I will give you the sure [b]mercies of David.’

35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:

(F)‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
