Acts 2:29

Brethren,. 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.

'I MAY SAY UNTO YOU FREELY'-'I can speak to you confidently about' (TCNT); 'I can speak quite plainly to you' (Mof); 'I can say this..without fear of contradiction' (Knox)

'PATRIARCH'-'It is. title of dignity, signifying the head of. house. It seems to be here applied to David, because he is spoken of as head of the family from which Christ sprang.' (P.P. Comm. p. 53)

'DAVID'-This is said, because Psalms 16:1 is written in the first person. But it is clear that these words don't apply to David. McGarvey notes, 'It was well known to the Jews, as it now is to all interpreters of the prophetic Psalms, that David habitually speaks in the first person when prophesying of the Christ.' p. 33)

'HE BOTH DIED AND WAS BURIED'-Both are recorded facts found in the O.T.

'HIS TOMB IS WITH US UNTO THIS DAY'-Which obviously means that David hasn't been resurrected. Reese notes, 'David's tomb was on the south side of Mount Zion (the western hill of the two hills on which Jerusalem was built)...Hyrcanus (134 B.C.) opened it, and took out 3000 talents of silver, and used. tenth of that sum to induce Antiochus Sidetes to raise the siege he had around Jerusalem. David's tomb was again violated by Herod, who carried off much wealth.' (p. 69)
