29 When they had carried out everything that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.(A) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(B) 31 and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people.(C) 32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors(D) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children,[a] by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.’(E)
34 “As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 They made his grave with the wicked
and his tomb[a] with the rich,[b]
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.(A)
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.
When you make his life an offering for sin,[c]
he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.(B)
11 Out of his anguish he shall see;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one,[d] my servant, shall make many righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.(C)
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out himself to death
and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet he bore the sin of many
and made intercession for the transgressors.(D)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have died[a] in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.[b](A) 21 For since death came through a human, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human,(B)

23 this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law.(A) 24 But God raised him up, having released him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.(B) 25 For David says concerning him,
‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;(C)
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover, my flesh will live in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades
or let your Holy One experience corruption.(D)
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 “Fellow Israelites,[a] I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.(E) 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne.(F) 31 Foreseeing this, David[b] spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,[c] saying,
‘He was not abandoned to Hades,
nor did his flesh experience corruption.’(G)

He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.(C) 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”(D)
