Acts 2:24-39

²⁴Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.

²⁵For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.

²⁶For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

²⁹Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.

³⁰Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.

³¹Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.

³²This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.

³³Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

³⁴For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

³⁵Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.

³⁷Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?

³⁸But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
