Acts 2:32-42
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
32 “This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.(A) 33 Being therefore exalted at[a] the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you see and hear.(B) 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,(C)
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’
36 “Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,[b] this Jesus whom you crucified.”
