And in those days Peter standing up in the midst of the brothers, said??he multitude together was about a hundred and twenty??16 Men and brothers, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who became a guide to them that apprehended Jesus;

For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved;

Men and brothers, let me speak to you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

And that he raised him from the dead never more to return to destruction, he said thus; I will give you the sure promises of David.
