say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I
was born, and for this cause I have come into the
world, that I should bear witness to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.
23Acts 229-36
Acts 229-36
- let me speak freely to you of the patriarch
David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a
prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him that of the fruit of his body,
according to the flesh, He would raise up the
Christ to sit on his throne, he, foreseeing this,
spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ,
that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His
flesh see corruption.
24This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all
witnesses. Therefore being exalted to the right
hand of God, and having received from the Father
the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out
this which you now see and hear. For David did
not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself
'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ."

and that believing you may have life in His name.

for no one can do these signs that You do unless
