But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed
them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to
you, and give ear to my words. "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.
