2:26 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
my body 1 also will live in hope,
2:27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, 2
nor permit your Holy One to experience 3 decay.
2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of joy with your presence.’ 4
2:29 “Brothers, 5 I can speak confidently 6 to you about our forefather 7 David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 2:30 So then, because 8 he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants 9 on his throne, 10 2:31 David by foreseeing this 11 spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 12 that he was neither abandoned to Hades, 13 nor did his body 14 experience 15 decay. 16 2:32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. 17 2:33 So then, exalted 18 to the right hand 19 of God, and having received 20 the promise of the Holy Spirit 21 from the Father, he has poured out 22 what you both see and hear. 2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my lord,
“Sit 23 at my right hand
2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool 24 for your feet.”’ 25
2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt 26 that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified 27 both Lord 28 and Christ.” 29
2:37 Now when they heard this, 30 they were acutely distressed 31 and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?” 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each one of you be baptized 32 in the name of Jesus Christ 33 for 34 the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 35 2:39 For the promise 36 is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.” 2:40 With many other words he testified 37 and exhorted them saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse 38 generation!” 2:41 So those who accepted 39 his message 40 were baptized, and that day about three thousand people 41 were added. 42
2:42 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, 43 to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 44 2:43 Reverential awe 45 came over everyone, 46 and many wonders and miraculous signs 47 came about by the apostles. 2:44 All who believed were together and held 48 everything in common, 2:45 and they began selling 49 their property 50 and possessions and distributing the proceeds 51 to everyone, as anyone had need. 2:46 Every day 52 they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, 53 breaking bread from 54 house to house, sharing their food with glad 55 and humble hearts, 56 2:47 praising God and having the good will 57 of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day 58 those who were being saved.
