The Resurrection and Exaltation of Jesus

22

Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe:

23

Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.

24

Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.

25

For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.

26

Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,

27

Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

28

Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.

29

Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.

30

Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,

31

Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption.

32

This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.

33

Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.

34

For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,

35

Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

36

Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
