Men, brothers, it was necessary for this Scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,

For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.

Men, brothers, being permitted to speak to you with openness about the patriarch David, that he both perished and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.

For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand

He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

Which also our fathers, having received in succession, brought in with Joshua into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David

And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.

And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David.

For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay.

After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it,
