Acts 2, 29-36.

Men, brethren, let me speak freely to you of David the arch-father: He died and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day. Now when he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised him by an oath that the fruit of his loins should sit upon his throne, he saw beforehand and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, and his flesh had not seen corruption. God raised this Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of it. Now that he has been raised up by the right hand of God, and has received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out these things which you see and hear. For David has not gone to heaven. But he saith, The Lord hath said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, till I have laid thine enemies at thy feet. Know ye therefore all the house of Israel, that God hath made this Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
