26. ‘For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation,
27. because You shall not leave my being in the grave, nor shall You give Your Kind One to see corruption.
28. ‘You have made known to me the ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’
29. “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor Dawiḏ, that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30. “Being a prophet, then, and knowing that Elohim had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,
31. foreseeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption.
32. “Elohim has raised up this יהושע, of which we are all witnesses.
33. “Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of Elohim, and having received from the Father the promise of the Set-apart Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
34. “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand,
35. until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’
36. “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’ĕl know for certain that Elohim has made this יהושע, whom you impaled, both Master and Messiah.”
37. And having heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kĕpha and the rest of the emissaries, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
38. And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.
39. “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.”
40. And with many other words he earnestly witnessed and urged them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”
