Acts 2:25-30

Living Bible

²⁵ “King David quoted Jesus as saying:

‘I know the Lord is always with me. He is helping me. God’s mighty power supports me.

²⁶ ‘No wonder my heart is filled with joy and my tongue shouts his praises! For I know all will be well with me in death—

²⁷ ‘You will not leave my soul in hell or let the body of your Holy Son decay.

²⁸ ‘You will give me back my life and give me wonderful joy in your presence.’

²⁹ “Dear brothers, think! David wasn’t referring to himself when he spoke these words I have quoted, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us. ³⁰ But he was a prophet, and knew God had promised with an unbreakable oath that one of David’s own descendants would be the Messiah and^[a] sit on David’s throne.
