Acts 2:26-39

²⁶Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Also, my flesh will live in certain hope.

²⁷For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸You revealed to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your face.'

²⁹Brothers, I can speak to you confidently about the patriarch David, he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁰Therefore, he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that he would set one of the fruit of his body upon his throne.

³¹He saw what was to happen in the future and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 'He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.'

³²This Jesus—God raised him up, of which we all are witnesses.

³³Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promised Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear.

³⁴For David did not ascend to the heaven, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

³⁵until I make your enemies the stool for your feet.”'

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

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their hearts, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁸Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, as many people as the Lord our God will call.”
