The Acts 2:23-38 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

23. him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain,

24. whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

25. For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved,

26. therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover even my flesh shall rest in hope

27. because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

28. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30. Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne;

31. he, seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.

32. This Jesus God has raised up, of whom we all are witnesses.

33. Therefore being raised up by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye now see and hear.

34. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand

35. until I make thy foes thy footstool.

36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
