Recontextualization and Reinterpretation of Psalm 18 [17]:5a and Psalm 16 [15]:8-11 in Peter’s First Speech (Acts 2:22-33)

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to examine the way in which quotes from Ps 18 [17]:5a and 16 [15]:8-11 were used in the Peter’s First Speech (Acts 2:14-39).They are analyzed the Greek expressions: “releasing from the pain of death” [lu,saj ta.j wvdi/naj tou/ qana,tou] (Acts 2:24), “decay” (of the body) [diafqora,] (Acts 2:27) and “hope” [evlpi,j] (Acts 2:26). These terms do not appear in the Hebrew Psalms. The literal reading of the Greek version of Ps 16 [15]:8-11 allows for its Christological, resurrectional and eschatological interpretation. However, a return to the Hebrew text allows us to reconstruct the original messianic context of this psalm and the promise for the dynasty of David and refer this psalm personally to Jesus. In addition, the soteriological interpretation of Ps 18 [17]:5 is based on the Hebrew text. This means that the reconstruction of Peter’s First Speech is based not only on the Greek texts, but also on the Hebrew Psalms and incorporates traditional material from Judeo-Christian sources (testimonia, florilegia). Because the environmental Bible of Helleno-Christian recipients (both virtual and first historical recipients) of the Acts was the LXX, the author of the Acts finally decided to replace the original Hebrew texts with quotes from the LXX.
