Acts 2:23-27

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

23 this Jesus, h delivered up according to i the definite plan and j foreknowledge of God, k you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 l God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because m it was not possible for him to be held by it.

25 For David says concerning him,
n "'I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell o in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to p Hades,
q or let your r Holy One s see corruption.
