Acts:2:22-38
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Men of Israel ,
hear these words :
Jesus of Nazareth ,
a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst ,
as you yourselves know --
*
this Jesus ,
delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God ,
you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men .
*
But God raised him up ,
having loosed the pangs of death ,
because it was not possible for him to be held by it .
*
For David says concerning him , `
I saw the Lord always before me ,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken ;
*
therefore my heart was glad ,
and my tongue rejoiced ;
moreover my flesh will dwell in hope .
*
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades ,
nor let thy Holy One see corruption .
*
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life ;
thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy presence .'
* "
Brethren ,
I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried ,
and his tomb is with us to this day .
*
Being therefore a prophet ,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne ,
*
he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ ,
that he was not abandoned to Hades ,
nor did his flesh see corruption .
*
This Jesus God raised up ,
and of that we all are witnesses .
*
Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God ,
and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit ,
he has poured out this which you see and hear .
*
For David did not ascend into the heavens ;
but he himself says , `
The Lord said to my Lord ,
Sit at my right hand ,
*
till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet .'
*
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ ,
this Jesus whom you crucified ."
*
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart ,
and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles , "
Brethren ,
what shall we do ?"
*
And Peter said to them , "
Repent ,
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins ;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit .
