22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,1 delivered up according to the definite plan and sforeknowledge of God, tyou crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 uGod vraised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was wnot possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,
x“‘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 in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both ydied and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had zsworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are awitnesses. 33 Being therefore bexalted cat the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the dpromise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
e“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my fright hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both gLord and hChrist, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, i“Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, j“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the kforgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the lgift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and mfor your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God ncalls to himself.”
