* Ye men of Israel , hear these words ; Jesus of Nazareth , a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs , which God did by him in the midst of you , as ye yourselves also know : * Him , being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God , ye have taken , and by wicked hands have crucified and slain : * Whom God hath raised up , having loosed the pains of death : because it was not possible that he should be holden of it . * For David speaketh concerning him , I foresaw the Lord always before my face , for he is on my right hand , that I should not be moved : * Therefore did my heart rejoice , and my tongue was glad ; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope : * Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell , neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption . * Thou hast made known to me the ways of life ; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance . * Men and brethren , let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David , that he is both dead and buried , and his sepulchre is with us unto this day . * Therefore being a prophet , and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him , that of the fruit of his loins , according to the flesh , he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne ; * He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ , that his soul was not left in hell , neither his flesh did see corruption . * This Jesus hath God raised up , whereof we all are witnesses . * Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted , and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost , he hath shed forth this , which ye now see and hear . * For David is not ascended into the heavens : but he saith himself , The LORD said unto my Lord , Sit thou on my right hand , * Until I make thy foes thy footstool . * Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly , that God hath made that same Jesus , whom ye have crucified , both Lord and Christ .
