Acts 2:31 in Context — Acts 2

29 Homens irmãos, é lícito eu vos dizer abertamente sobre o patriarca Davi, que morreu, e foi sepultado, e a sepultura dele está conosco até o dia de hoje.

30 Portanto, sendo ele profeta, e sabendo que Deus tinha lhe prometido com juramento que, da sua descendência segundo a carne, levantaria ao Cristo para se sentar no seu trono;

31 Vendo [-o] com antecedência, falou da ressurreição do Cristo, que a sua alma não foi abandonada no Xeol, nem a sua carne viu a degradação.

32 A este Jesus Deus ressuscitou; do qual todos nós somos testemunhas.
