Revised Version 1885

The Acts 2:20-31 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

20. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day:

21. And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22. Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;

23. him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:

24. whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

25. For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

26. Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

27. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

28. Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

29. Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.

30. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;

31. he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
