Acts 2:31

Read in context

Acts 2:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us 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.

31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

32 God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

33 Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
