Acts 2:24-26
New English Translation
24 But God raised him up,[a] having released[b] him from the pains[c] of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.[d] 25 For David says about him,
‘I saw the Lord always in front of me,[e]
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
my body[f] also will live in hope,
Footnotes
