Acts 2:30-32
Easy-to-Read Version
30 He was a prophet and knew something that God had said. God had promised David that someone from his own family would sit on David’s throne as king.[a] 31 David knew this before it happened. That is why he said this about that future king:
‘He was not left in the place of death.
His body did not rot in the grave.’
David was talking about the Messiah rising from death. 32 So Jesus is the one God raised from death. We are all witnesses of this. We saw him.
