29 “Fellow Israelites,(A) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(B) David died and was buried,(C) and his tomb is here(D) to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.(E) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.(F) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(G) and we are all witnesses(H) of it. 33 Exalted(I) to the right hand of God,(J) he has received from the Father(K) the promised Holy Spirit(L) and has poured out(M) what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    “Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.”’[a](N)

36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord(O) and Messiah.”(P)

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”(Q)

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,(R) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.(S) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(T) 39 The promise is for you and your children(U) and for all who are far off(V)—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(W)

  1. Acts 2:35 Psalm 110:1

29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (A)the patriarch David (B)that he both died and (C)was buried, and (D)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (E)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (F)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 (G)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (H)God raised up, (I)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (J)Being therefore (K)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (L)the Father (M)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (N)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For (O)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,

(P)“‘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 (Q)God has made him (R)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (S)whom you crucified.”

37 Now when (T)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, (U)what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, (V)“Repent and (W)be baptized every one of you (X)in the name of Jesus Christ (Y)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive (Z)the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For (AA)the promise is for you and (AB)for your children and for all (AC)who are far off, everyone (AD)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, (AE)“Save yourselves from this (AF)crooked generation.”
