Acts 2:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 2:25

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.

26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see ^acorruption.

28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
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,

35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
