Acts 2:27 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 2.

23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

24 But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
