31. David knew this would happen, and so he told us that Christ would be raised to life. He said that God would not leave him in the grave or let his body decay.

32. All of us can tell you that God has raised Jesus to life!

33. Jesus was taken up to sit at the right side of God, and he was given the Holy Spirit, just as the Father had promised. Jesus is also the one who has given the Spirit to us, and that is what you are now seeing and hearing.

35. until he made my Lord's enemies into a footstool for him.”

36. Everyone in Israel should then know for certain that God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ, even though you put him to death on a cross.
