Acts of the Apostles 2:14, 22-32

¹⁴ Peter stood with the other eleven apostles. He raised his voice and declared, “Judeans and everyone living in Jerusalem! Know this! Listen carefully to my words! ²² “Fellow Israelites, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene was a man whose credentials God proved to you through miracles, wonders, and signs, which God performed through him among you. You yourselves know this. ²³ In accordance with God’s established plan and foreknowledge, he was betrayed. You, with the help of wicked men, had Jesus killed by nailing him to a cross. ²⁴ God raised him up! God freed him from death’s dreadful grip, since it was impossible for death to hang on to him. ²⁵ David says about him, I foresaw that the Lord was always with me; because he is at my right hand I won’t be shaken. ²⁶ Therefore, my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover, my body will live in hope, ²⁷ because you won’t abandon me to the grave, nor permit your holy one to experience decay. ²⁸ You have shown me the paths of life; your presence will fill me with happiness. ²⁹ “Brothers and sisters, I can speak confidently about the patriarch David. He died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this very day. ³⁰ Because he was a prophet, he knew that God promised him with a solemn pledge to seat one of his descendants on his throne. ³¹ Having seen this beforehand, David spoke about the resurrection of Christ, that he wasn’t abandoned to the grave, nor did his body experience decay. ³² This Jesus God raised up. We are all witnesses to that fact.
