Acts 2:21-32 Modern English Version (MEV)

21. And whoever callson the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

22. “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with powerful works and wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know.

23. You have taken Him, who was handed over to you by the ordained counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by lawless hands have crucified and killed Him,

24. whom God raised up by loosening the pull of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

25. For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always before me,for He is at my right hand,that I may not be shaken.

26. Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.

27. For You will not abandon my soul to Hades,nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

28. You have made known to me the ways of life;You will make me full of joy with Your presence.’

29. “Brothers, I may speak confidently to you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30. But being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of his seed according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

31. he foresaw this and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

32. God raised up this Jesus, of which we all are witnesses.
