Acts 2:22-36
New King James Version
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you (A)by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, (B)being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, (C)you [a]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 (D)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:
(E)‘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 (F)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 (G)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, (H)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, (I)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (J)This Jesus God has raised up, (K)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (L)being exalted [e]to (M)the right hand of God, and (N)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (O)poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
(P)‘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.”

Acts 13:22-37
New King James Version
22 And (A)when He had removed him, (B)He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, (C)‘I have found David the son of Jesse, (D)a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ 23 (E)From this man’s seed, according (F)to the promise, God raised up for Israel (G)a[a] Savior—Jesus— 24 (H)after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, (I)‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, (J)there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’
26 “Men and brethren, sons of the [b]family of Abraham, and (K)those among you who fear God, (L)to you the [c]word of this salvation has been sent. 27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, (M)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 (N)And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29 (O)Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, (P)they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30 (Q)But God raised Him from the dead. 31 (R)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—(S)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:
(T)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’
34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [d]corruption, He has spoken thus:
35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:
(V)‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
36 “For David, after he had served [f]his own generation by the will of God, (W)fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and [g]saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up [h]saw no corruption.
