Acts:2:22-38
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Men of Israel ,
hear these words :
Jesus of Nazareth ,
a Man attested by God to you by miracles ,
wonders ,
and signs which God did through Him in your midst ,
as you yourselves also know --
*
Him ,
being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God ,
you have taken by lawless hands ,
have crucified ,
and put to death ;
*
whom God raised up ,
having loosed the pains of death ,
because it was not possible that He should be held by it .
*
For David says concerning Him : "
I foresaw the LORD always before my face ,
For He is at my right hand ,
that I may not be shaken .
*
Therefore my heart rejoiced ,
and my tongue was glad ;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope .
*
For You will not leave my soul in Hades ,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption .
*
You have made known to me the ways of life ;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence .'
* "
Men and brethren ,
let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David ,
that he is both dead and buried ,
and his tomb is with us to this day .
*
Therefore ,
being a prophet ,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body ,
according to the flesh ,
He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne ,
*
he ,
foreseeing this ,
spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ ,
that His soul was not left in Hades ,
nor did His flesh see corruption .
*
This Jesus God has raised up ,
of which we are all witnesses .
*
Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God ,
and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit ,
He poured out this which you now see and hear .
* "
For David did not ascend into the heavens ,
but he says himself : "
The LORD said to my Lord , "
Sit at My right hand ,
*
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool ."'
* "
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus ,
whom you crucified ,
both Lord and Christ ."
*
Now when they heard this ,
they were cut to the heart ,
and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles , "
Men and brethren ,
what shall we do ?"
*
Then Peter said to them , "
Repent ,
and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins ;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit .
