Acts 2:29-36 ALT
(29) "Men, brothers! It is possible [for me] to speak with confidence to you* concerning the patriarch David, that he both came to the end [of his life] and was buried, and his tomb is with us until this day. (30) "Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God vowed to him with an oath, from [the] fruit of his reproductive organs according to the flesh [fig., from one of his descendents], to raise up the Christ [or, the Messiah, and throughout book] to sit on his throne, (31) having foreseen [this], he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in the realm of the dead [Gr., hades], nor did His flesh see corruption. (32) "This Jesus God raised up, of which we are all witnesses! (33) "Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you* now see and hear. (34) "For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The LORD said to my lord, "Sit at My right hand, (35) until I put Your enemies [as] Your footstool for Your feet."' [Psalm 110:1] (36) Therefore, let all the house of Israel know securely [fig., without a doubt] that God made Him both Lord and Christ-this Jesus whom _you*_ crucified!"

Acts 2:29-36 BBE
(29) My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today. (30) But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king, (31) He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction. (32) This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses. (33) And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of. (34) For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, (35) Till I put all those who are against you under your feet. (36) For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
