23 Him, abeing delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, byou have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
24 awhom God raised up, having loosed the2 pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25 For David says concerning Him:
a‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
a‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you aof the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, aand knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body,1 according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, athat His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
32 aThis Jesus God has raised up, bof which we are all witnesses.
33 Therefore abeing exalted to bthe right hand of God, and chaving received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He dpoured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
a‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
a‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
