Acts 2:23–32

²³He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross. ²⁴But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

²⁵David says about Him:

‘I saw^f the Lord always before me;

because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

²⁶Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will dwell in hope,

²⁷because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,

nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’^g

²⁹Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. ³⁰But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.^{h 31}Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. ³²God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
