“Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.”
'Brothers and sisters, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day — Peter's argument is sophisticated: David (the psalm's author) died and is still dead (remains in his tomb in Jerusalem, a verifiable historical fact). Therefore, when David speaks of not seeing decay, he cannot be speaking of himself; he must be prophesying of another.
