Acts 2:25

Read in context

Acts 2:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

24 But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
