²²“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know,

²⁸You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’

³⁰So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,

³²“This Jesus God raised, to which we all are witnesses.
