Listen Everyone: You Killed Jesus The Nazarene, But God Raised Him From The Dead
22 “Men, Israelites, listen-to these words: As to Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been attested by God to you with[a] miracles and wonders and signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this One, given-over[b] by the determined[c] purpose[d] and foreknowledge of God, you killed, having fastened[e] Him to a cross by the hand of Lawless ones, 24 Whom God raised-up, having put-an-end-to[f] the pains[g] of death, because it was not possible that He be held-on-to by it.
David Predicted This. And Jesus Poured Out What You Both See And Hear
25 “For David says with reference to Him [in Ps 16:8-11], ‘I was seeing the Lord in my presence continually, because He is on my right side so that I may not be shaken. 26 For this reason my heart was cheered and my tongue rejoiced-greatly. And furthermore, my flesh will also dwell in hope, 27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor give[h] Your holy One to see[i] decay. 28 You made the ways of life known to me. You will make me full of gladness with Your presence’. 29 Men, brothers, it is proper to say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both came-to-an-end[j] and was buried. And his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath to seat One from the fruit of his loins upon his throne, 31 having foreseen it, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ— that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. 32 God raised up this Jesus, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured-out this which you are both seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not go up into the heavens, but he himself says [in Ps 110:1], ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side 35 until I put Your enemies as a footstool of Your feet”’.
Therefore, Let All Israel Know That God Made Jesus Both Lord And Messiah
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with-certainty that God made Him both Lord and Christ— this Jesus Whom you crucified”.
The Roman Guards Are Bought Off, And The Priests Plot Out Their Story
11 And while they were going, behold— some of the guard[a], having come into the city, reported all the things having taken place to the chief priests. 12 And having been gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave sufficient[b] money to the soldiers[c], 13 saying, “Say that ‘His disciples, having come by night, stole Him while we were sleeping’. 14 And if this should be heard[d] before the governor, we will persuade him. And we will make you free-from-concern”. 15 And the ones, having taken the money, did as they were instructed. And this statement was spread-widely among Jews, until this very day[e].
Jesus Commissions The Eleven To Make Disciples of All Nations
16 And the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus ordered them. 17 And having seen Him, they worshiped Him. But the[f] ones doubted[g]. 18 And having come to them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth was given to Me. 19 Therefore having gone, make-disciples-of [h] all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to keep all that I commanded you. And behold— I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the age”.
