But they will do all these things to you on account of ¹  my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. ² 

because you will not leave my soul in Hades, ¹  nor permit your Holy One to experience ²  decay.

David by foreseeing this ¹  spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, ²  that he was neither abandoned to Hades, ³  nor did his body ⁴  experience ⁵  decay. ⁶ 

For unclean spirits, ¹  crying with loud shrieks, were coming out of many who were possessed, ²  and many paralyzed and lame people were healed.
