Acts 2:23-32 He, I say, in accordance with God's definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ He, I say, in accordance with God's definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death. ²⁴ But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold upon him. ²⁵ Indeed it was to him that David was referring when he said-- 'I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, that I should not be disquieted. ²⁶ Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope; ²⁷ For you wilt not abandon my soul to the Place of Death, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. ²⁸ Thou have shown me the path to life, you wilt fill me with gladness in your presence.' ²⁹ Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day. ³⁰ David, then, Prophet as he was, knowing that God 'had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants upon his throne,' looked into the future, ³¹ And referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that 'he had not been abandoned to the Place of Death, nor had his body undergone corruption.' ³² It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
