s, and wonders, and signs, which
God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know;
(23)this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless
ones; (24)whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death;
because it was not possible that he should be held by it. (25)For
David says concerning him:
I saw the Lord always before me;
Because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
(26)For this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted;
Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope;
(27)Because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld,
Nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
(28)Thou didst make known to me the ways of life;
Thou wilt make me full of joy with thy presence.
(29)Men, brethren, I may speak freely to you of the patriarch David,
that he both died and was buried, and his sepulchre is among us unto
this day. (30)Being a prophet, therefore, and knowing that God swore
to him, with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit on
his throne, (31)he, foreseeing, spoke of the resurrection of the
Christ, that neither was his soul abandoned to the underworld, nor did
his flesh see corruption.
(32)This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. (33)Being
therefore exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from
the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured forth this, which
ye now see and hear. (34)For David did not ascend into heaven; but he
says himself:
The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit on my right hand,
(35)Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
(36)Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
(37)And hearing this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to
Peter and the rest of the apostles: Men, brethren, what shall we do?
(38)And Peter said to them: Repent, and be each of you immersed, upon
the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39)For the promise is to you, and to
your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God
shall have called.
(40)And with many other words did he bear witness and exhort, saying:
Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
(41)They therefore, having received[2:41] his word, were immersed and
on that day there were added abou
