New Testament

Acts 2:30-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. Therefore, he was a prophet, for he knew that God had sworn an oath to him about the fruit of his loins, about the One who would sit upon his throne.

31. Foreseeing this, he was speaking about the Resurrection of the Christ. For he was neither left behind in Hell, nor did his flesh see corruption.

32. This Jesus, God raised up again, and of this we are all witnesses.

33. Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.

34. For David did not ascend into heaven. But he himself said: 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand,

35. until I make your enemies your footstool.'

36. Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."

37. Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: "What should we do, noble brothers?"

38. Yet truly, Peter said to them: "Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39. For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called."

40. And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this depraved generation."
