Contemporary English Version
Acts 2:24-32
Contemporary English Version
24 (A) But God set him free from death and raised him to life. Death could not hold him in its power. 25 (B) What David said are really the words of Jesus,
“I always see the Lord
near me,
and I will not be afraid
with him at my right side.
26 Because of this,
my heart will be glad,
my words will be joyful,
and I will live in hope.
27 The Lord won't leave me
in the grave.
I am his holy one,
and he won't let
my body decay.
28 He has shown me
the path to life,
and he makes me glad
by being near me.”
29 My friends, it is right for me to speak to you about our ancestor David. He died and was buried, and his tomb is still here. 30 (C) But David was a prophet, and he knew that God had made a promise he would not break. He had told David someone from his own family would someday be king.
31 David knew this would happen, and so he told us Christ would be raised to life. He said 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!

Acts 2:24-32
New International Version
24 But God raised him from the dead,(A) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(B) 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.(C)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[a](D)
29 “Fellow Israelites,(E) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(F) David died and was buried,(G) and his tomb is here(H) to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.(I) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.(J) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(K) and we are all witnesses(L) of it.
