New International Version

²⁹ “Fellow Israelites,^(J) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch^(K) David died and was buried,^(L) and his tomb is here^(M) to this day. ³⁰ But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.^{(N) 31} Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.^{(O) 32} God has raised this Jesus to life,^(P) and we are all witnesses^(Q) of it. ³³ Exalted^(R) to the right hand of God,^(S) he has received from the Father^(T) the promised Holy Spirit^(U) and has poured out^(V) what you now see and hear. ³⁴ For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

³⁶ “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord^(X) and Messiah.”^(Y)
