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

25	for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me -- because He is on my right hand -- that I may not be moved;

26	because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet -- my flesh also shall rest on hope,

27	because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;

31	having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

32	`This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;

33	at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

34	for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

35	till I make thy foes thy footstool;

36	assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.`

39	for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.`

40	Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;`

42	and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.

43	And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

44	and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,

45	and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.

46	Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,

47	praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.
