22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike.

29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,(A) they took him down from the cross(B) and laid him in a tomb.(C) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(D) 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.(E) They are now his witnesses(F) to our people.

32 “We tell you the good news:(G) What God promised our ancestors(H) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.(I) As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’[c](L)

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,(C) who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him,(D) just as he told you.’”(E)
