26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you (A)who fear God, to us has been sent (B)the message of (C)this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because (D)they did not recognize him nor understand (E)the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, (F)fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And (G)though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, (H)they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when (I)they had carried out all that was written of him, (J)they took him down from (K)the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But (L)God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days (M)he appeared to those (N)who had come up with him (O)from Galilee to Jerusalem, (P)who are now (Q)his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news (R)that what God promised to the fathers, 33 (S)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

(T)“‘You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you.’

34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, (U)(V)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,

“‘I will give you (W)the holy and sure blessings of David.’

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm,

(X)“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’

36 For David, after he had (Y)served the purpose of God in his own generation, (Z)fell asleep and (AA)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom (AB)God raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, (AC)that through this man (AD)forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him (AE)everyone who believes is freed[a] from everything (AF)from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you (A)a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen (B)to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet (C)shall be destroyed from the people.’ 24 And (D)all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. 25 (E)You are the sons of the prophets and of (F)the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, (G)‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 (H)God, (I)having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, (J)to bless you (K)by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 (A)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(B)that I will pour out my Spirit (C)on all flesh,
and your sons and (D)your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and (E)they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 (F)the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before (G)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (H)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, (I)a man attested to you by God (J)with (K)mighty works and wonders and signs that (L)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,[a] (M)delivered up according to (N)the definite plan and (O)foreknowledge of God, (P)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 (Q)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because (R)it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,

(S)“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
    for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
    my flesh also will dwell (T)in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to (U)Hades,
    (V)or let your (W)Holy One (X)see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (Y)the patriarch David (Z)that he both died and (AA)was buried, and (AB)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (AC)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (AD)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 (AE)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (AF)God raised up, (AG)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (AH)Being therefore (AI)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (AJ)the Father (AK)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (AL)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For (AM)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

(AN)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35     until I make your enemies your footstool.”’

36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that (AO)God has made him (AP)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (AQ)whom you crucified.”
