Acts 2:22-28
Contemporary English Version
22 Now, listen to what I have to say about Jesus from Nazareth. God proved he sent Jesus to you by having him work miracles, wonders, and signs. All of you know this. 23 (A) God had already planned and decided that Jesus would be handed over to you. So you took him and had evil men put him to death on a cross. 24 (B) But God set him free from death and raised him to life. Death could not hold him in its power. 25 (C) What David said are really the words of Jesus,
“I always see the Lord
near me,
and I will not be afraid
with him at my right side.
26 Because of this,
my heart will be glad,
my words will be joyful,
and I will live in hope.
27 The Lord won't leave me
in the grave.
I am his holy one,
and he won't let
my body decay.
28 He has shown me
the path to life,
and he makes me glad
by being near me.”
