Commentary on Acts 2:27
The promise 'thou wilt not leave my soul in hell' (Greek 'Hades,' the realm of the dead) guarantees Christ's descent into death and subsequent resurrection. The parallel phrase 'neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption' emphasizes bodily resurrection before decay begins. This refutes Gnostic contempt for physical resurrection while establishing Christ's sinlessness - only the 'Holy One' could avoid corruption's power. Believers' resurrection derives from union with this incorruptible One.
