22 "Men of Israel, listen to this! Jesus of Nazareth was a man who had God's approval. God did miracles, wonders and signs among you through Jesus. You yourselves know this.
23 Long ago God planned that Jesus would be handed over to you. With the help of evil people, you put Jesus to death. You nailed him to the cross.
24 But God raised him from the dead. He set him free from the suffering of death. It wasn't possible for death to keep its hold on Jesus.
25 David spoke about him. He said, " 'I know that the Lord is always with me. He is at my right hand. I will always be secure.
26 So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue. My body also will be full of hope.
27 You will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your Holy One rot away.
28 You always show me the path that leads to life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you.' (Psalm 16:8-11)
