Acts 3:12-26

¹²So upon observing this Peter responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why are you marveling at this, or why are you staring at us as if we have made him walk by our own power or godliness?

¹³The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up; and you repudiated Him to Pilate's face, when he was intending to release Him.

¹⁴Yes you repudiated the holy and righteous One, and you asked that a murderer be granted to you,

¹⁵while you killed the Originator of the Life, whom God raised from among the dead, to which we are witnesses.

¹⁶Well His name, based on faith in His name, made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that is through Him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷“So now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as also your rulers.

¹⁸But the things that God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Messiah would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

¹⁹Repent therefore, and turn around, so that your sins may be erased, in order that times of refreshing may come from the Lord's face

²⁰and that He may send Jesus, who had been ordained to be your Messiah,

²¹whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which times God spoke long ago by the mouth of all His holy prophets.

²²“For example, Moses said to the fathers: ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a Prophet, like me, from among your brothers. You must listen to Him, in all that He may say to you.

²³It will be that every person who will not listen to that Prophet will be extirpated from among the people.’

²⁴“Yes and all the prophets, from Samuel on down, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

²⁵You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘Yes, in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

²⁶God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to you first, to bless you by turning each of you away from your iniquities.”
