Acts 3:12-26

¹²When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

¹⁴But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

¹⁵and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.

¹⁶By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷“Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

¹⁹“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰and that he may send Messiah Yeshua, who was ordained for you before,

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

²²For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from amongst your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.

²³It will be that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from amongst the people.’

²⁴Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days.

²⁵You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.’

²⁶God, having raised up his servant Yeshua, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”
