26 “Men and brethren, sons of the [a]family of Abraham, and (A)those among you who fear God, (B)to you the [b]word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, (C)because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. 28 (D)And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29 (E)Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, (F)they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30 (G)But God raised Him from the dead. 31 (H)He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we declare to you glad tidings—(I)that promise which was made to the fathers. 33 God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:
(J)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [c]corruption, He has spoken thus:
35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
(L)‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
36 “For David, after he had served [e]his own generation by the will of God, (M)fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and [f]saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up [g]saw no corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that (N)through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and (O)by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, (A)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 Yes, and (B)all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also [a]foretold these days. 25 (C)You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, (D)‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 To you (E)first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, (F)in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(C) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs(D) of the prophets and of the covenant(E) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](F) 26 When God raised up(G) his servant, he sent him first(H) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And(A) it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
(B)That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and (C)your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
(D)And they shall prophesy.
19 (E)I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 (F)The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That (G)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you (H)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (I)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (J)you [a]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (K)whom God raised up, having [b]loosed the [c]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
(L)‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see (M)corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (N)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, (O)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [d]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, (P)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (Q)This Jesus God has raised up, (R)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (S)being exalted [e]to (T)the right hand of God, and (U)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (V)poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
(W)‘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.”

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.(A)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(B)
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,

22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth(H) was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs,(I) which God did among you through him,(J) as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge;(K) and you, with the help of wicked men,[b] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.(L) 24 But God raised him from the dead,(M) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(N) 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.(O)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[c](P)
29 “Fellow Israelites,(Q) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(R) David died and was buried,(S) and his tomb is here(T) to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.(U) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.(V) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(W) and we are all witnesses(X) of it. 33 Exalted(Y) to the right hand of God,(Z) he has received from the Father(AA) the promised Holy Spirit(AB) and has poured out(AC) what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[d](AD)
