Acts 2:22-31
English Standard Version
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, (A)a man attested to you by God (B)with (C)mighty works and wonders and signs that (D)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,[a] (E)delivered up according to (F)the definite plan and (G)foreknowledge of God, (H)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 (I)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because (J)it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,
(K)“‘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 (L)in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to (M)Hades,
(N)or let your (O)Holy One (P)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 (Q)the patriarch David (R)that he both died and (S)was buried, and (T)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (U)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (V)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 (W)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

Acts 13:32-37
English Standard Version
32 And we bring you the good news (A)that what God promised to the fathers, 33 (B)this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,
(C)“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’
34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, (D)(E)no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
“‘I will give you (F)the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm,
(G)“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’
36 For David, after he had (H)served the purpose of God in his own generation, (I)fell asleep and (J)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom (K)God raised up did not see corruption.
