Acts 3:13-24 in English

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

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

¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

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

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

²⁰ and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:

²¹ whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old.

²² Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.

²³ And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

¹⁵ And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸ But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

²⁰ And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

²¹ Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

²² For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

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

¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I wot that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

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

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

²⁰ and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:

²¹ whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have been since the world began.

²² Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.

²³ And it shall be, that every soul, which shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.

¹³ So I will tell you what is really happening. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your leaders brought Jesus to the governor, Pilate, so that his soldiers would kill him. And God considers that in front of Pilate you were the ones who rejected Jesus as your king, after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.

¹⁴ Although Jesus always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. Pilate wanted to release him, but you urgently asked Pilate to release ◄a murderer/someone who had killed people►!

¹⁵ God considers that you killed Jesus, the one who gives people eternal life. But God has greatly honored him ◄by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead►. Many of us saw him after that, and now we (exc) are telling you about it.

¹⁶ It is because we two trusted in what Jesus MTY, PRS could do, that he made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we (exc) trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”

¹⁷ “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that to Jesus because you and they did not know that he was the Messiah.

¹⁸ However, your putting him to death was what God had predicted that people would do. Long ago he told all the prophets MTY to write what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote that the Messiah, whom God would send, would suffer and die.

¹⁹ So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God to help you do what pleases him, in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.

²⁰ If you do that, there will be times when you will know that the Lord God is helping you. And some day he will again send back to earth the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.

²¹ Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised to do that, and he chose holy prophets to tell that to people.

²² For example, the prophet Moses said this about the Messiah: ‘The Lord ◄your God/the God whom you worship► will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you God's message. God will send him as he sent me, and he will be from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you and obey him SYN.

²³ Those who do not listen to that prophet and obey him will no longer belong to God's people, and God will get rid of them’.”

²⁴ Peter continued, “All the prophets have told about what would happen during the time MTY in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include Samuel and all the others who later also spoke about these events before they happened.

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

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ 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,

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ 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,

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ 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,

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

²² For 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.

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

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

¹³ The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free.

¹⁴ But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

¹⁵ And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

¹⁷ And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

¹⁸ But the things which God had made clear before, by the mouth of all the prophets, that the Christ would have to undergo, he has put into effect in this way.

¹⁹ So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

²⁰ And that he may send the Christ who was marked out for you from the first, even Jesus:

²¹ Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

²² For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you.

²³ And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

²⁴ And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.

¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man that was a murderer should be granted to you;

¹⁵ but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And, by faith in his name, his name has made this man strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;

¹⁸ but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.

¹⁹ Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰ and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,

²¹ whom heaven indeed must receive till the times of the restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began.

²² Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.

²³ And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after him, as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.

¹⁵ But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸ But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

¹⁹ Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.

²⁰ That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ,

²¹ Whom heaven indeed must receive, until the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the beginning of the world.

²² For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.

²³ And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ And all the prophets, from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a murderer be released to you,

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

¹⁶ And on the basis of faith in His name, this one whom you observe and know, was made strong by His name. And the faith, which is by Him, has given to him this wholeness before you all.

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

¹⁸ But those things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

¹⁹ Repent therefore and turn back, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

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

²¹ whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

²² For Moses said to the fathers, ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.’

²³ ‘And it shall be that every person who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

²⁴ Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and his successors, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

¹³ The 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.

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

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

¹⁶ Well 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.

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

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

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

²¹ whom 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.

²³ It 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.

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.

¹⁴ You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.

¹⁵ You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.

¹⁶ By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.

¹⁷ Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.

¹⁸ But God fulfilled what he had prophesied through all the prophets: that his Messiah would suffer.

¹⁹ Now repent, and change your ways, that your sins can be wiped away, so the Lord can send opportunities for you to heal and recover,

²⁰ and send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you.

²¹ For he must stay in heaven until the time when everything is restored, as God announced through his holy prophets long ago.

²² Moses said, ‘The Lord God will send you a prophet from among your own people who is like me. You must listen to everything he tells you.

²³ Anybody who doesn't listen to him will be totally removed from the people.’

²⁴ All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel on, prophesied about these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Sonne Iesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had iudged him to be deliuered.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy one and the Iust, and desired a murtherer to be giuen you,

¹⁵ And killed the Lord of life, whome God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his Name hath made this man sound, whom ye see, and know, through faith in his Name: and the faith which is by him, hath giuen to him this perfite health of his whole body in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your gouernours.

¹⁸ But those thinges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.

¹⁹ Amend your liues therefore, and turne, that your sinnes may be put away, whe the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

²⁰ And he shall sende Iesus Christ, which before was preached vnto you,

²¹ Whome the heauen must containe vntill the time that all thinges be restored, which God had spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began.

²² For Moses said vnto the Fathers, The Lord your God shall raise vp vnto you a Prophet, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: ye shall heare him in all things, whatsoeuer he shall say vnto you.

²³ For it shalbe that euery person which shall not heare that Prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people.

²⁴ Also all the Prophets from Samuel, and thencefoorth as many as haue spoken, haue likewise foretolde of these dayes.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸ But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

²⁰ and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

²¹ whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

²² For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

¹⁹ From now on truly you must all think and do with a different feeling, get right with God; as a result of doing that he will clean you from the bad things.

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a murderer should be granted to you.

¹⁵ But the author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that ye acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

¹⁸ But God thus fulfilled what he had before announced by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.

¹⁹ Repent therefore and turn from your ways, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰ and that he may send forth Christ Jesus, who was before appointed for you;

²¹ whom heaven indeed must receive until the times of a restoration of all things; of which times God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from the days of old.

²² Moses indeed said, “A prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you from among your brethren, as be raised up me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall speak to you.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul which doth not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.”

²⁴ And all the prophets also, Samuel and those who followed, as many as spoke, announced these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honour to his servant Jesus — him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.

¹⁴ You, I say, disowned the holy and righteous one, and asked for the release of a murderer!

¹⁵ The guide to life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead — and of that we are ourselves witnesses.

¹⁶ And it is by faith in the name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has — by his name — been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.

¹⁷ And yet, my friends, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.

¹⁸ But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the prophets.

¹⁹ Therefore, repent and turn so that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,

²⁰ and so that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.

²¹ But heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy prophets from the very first.

²² Moses himself said — ‘The Lord your God will raise up from amongst yourselves a prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.

²³ And it will be that should anyone amongst the people not listen to that prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’

²⁴ Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honor to his servant Jesus — him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.

¹⁴ You, I say, disowned the holy and righteous one, and asked for the release of a murderer!

¹⁵ The guide to life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead — and of that we are ourselves witnesses.

¹⁶ And it is by faith in the name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has — by his name — been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.

¹⁷ And yet, my friends, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.

¹⁸ But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the prophets.

¹⁹ Therefore, repent and turn so that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,

²⁰ and so that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.

²¹ But heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy prophets from the very first.

²² Moses himself said — ‘The Lord your God will raise up from among yourselves a prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.

²³ And it will be that should anyone among the people not listen to that prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’

²⁴ Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.

¹³ God made this man better, so that everyone will know Jesus is really great. But you mob grabbed Jesus and gave him to the soldiers, for them to kill him. The judge, called Pilate, he wanted to let him go free, but all you mob kept shouting, ‘No, don’t let Jesus go. You have to kill him. You have to let another man go free instead, even though he is a murderer.’ Jesus was a properly good man that lived God’s way, but you said he wasn’t. But Jesus was God’s special workman, and God made him come alive again and God made him really powerful. This is the same God that our grand-fathers of a long time ago respected. They were called Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.

¹⁵ So you killed Jesus, the one that gives life to people. But God made him alive again. Yes, both of us saw him alive again with our own eyes.

¹⁶ Now you are looking at this man here and you know he used to be crippled. But we believed that Jesus can make him better, so Jesus made him better. You mob saw that with your own eyes.”

¹⁷ Peter kept talking to them, he said, “My friends, I know you and your leaders didn’t understand about Jesus. You mob didn’t know he was the one that God sent to us.

¹⁸ But a long time ago God told his men to write about Jesus, and it is in God’s book. They said that God was going to send his special man, and that people were going to kill him. And now God has made all that happen.

¹⁹ So listen. You mob have to change the way you live and turn back to God, so that he will not blame you or pay you back for the bad things you did.

²⁰ Then God will make your spirits happy and strong. You see, God picked Jesus to be his special man for you. Jesus will stay in heaven until the right time comes for God to make everything new and right again. Then God will send Jesus to you again. God told everyone about this a long time ago, and he got his men to write about it in his book.

²² One of those men was Moses. He said, ‘God, the one that is your God, he picked me to tell you his messages, and just like that he will pick one of your own people later to be his special man, to tell you his messages. You have to listen to everything that man tells you.

²³ If anyone will not listen to him, that person will not belong to God’s people, and he will die.’

²⁴ Samuel was another of God’s men a long time ago. He also told people that all these things were going to happen. And all God’s other men that came later, they told people the same story.

¹³ The God of Abraham Isaac and Iacob the God of oure fathers hath glorified his sonne Iesus whom ye delyvered and denyed in the presence of Pylate when he had iudged him to be lowsed.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust and desyred a mortherar to be geven you

¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe whom God hath raysed from deeth of the which we are wytnesses.

¹⁶ And his name thorow the fayth of his name hath made this man sound whom ye se and knowe. And the fayth which is by him hath geven to him this health in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now brethren I wote well that thorow ignoraunce ye did it as dyd also youre heddes.

¹⁸ But those thinges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophetes how that Christ shuld suffre he hath thus wyse fulfilled.

¹⁹ Repent ye therfore and turne that youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshinge commeth which we shall have of the presence of the Lorde

²⁰ and when God shall sende him which before was preached vnto you that is to wit Iesus Christ

²¹ which must receave heaven vntyll the tyme that all thinges which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophetes sence the worlde began be restored agayne.

²² For Moses sayd vnto the fathers: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you even of youre brethren lyke vnto me: him shall ye heare in all thinges whatsoever he shall saye vnto you.

²³ For the tyme will come that every soule which shall not heare that same Prophet shalbe destroyed from amonge the people.

²⁴ Also all the Prophetes from Samuel and thence forth as many as have spoken have in lykwyse tolde of these dayes.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. He is the one whom you delivered up and rejected before the face of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

¹⁴ You rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and you asked instead for a murderer to be released to you.

¹⁵ You killed the Founder of life, whom God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses of this.

¹⁶ Now, by faith in his name—this man whom you see and know—this same name made him strong. The faith that is through Jesus gave to him this complete health in the presence of all of you.

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

¹⁸ But the things which God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he has now fulfilled.

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

²⁰ and that he may send the Christ who has been appointed for you, Jesus.

²¹ He is the One heaven must receive until the time of the restoration of all things, about which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.

²² Moses indeed said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet like me from among your brothers. You shall listen to everything that he will speak to you.

²³ It will happen that every person who does not listen to that prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.'

²⁴ Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after him, they spoke out and announced these days.

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

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ 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,

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ 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,

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,

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

²² For 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.

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

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

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One, and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you,

¹⁵ And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses.

¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yes, the faith which is by him, hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it , as did also your rulers.

¹⁸ But those things which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰ And he will send Jesus Christ, who before was preached to you:

²¹ Whom the heaven must receive, until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the world began.

²² For Moses truly said to the fathers, A Prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you, of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall say to you.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul who will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²⁴ And all the prophets also from Samuel, and those that follow, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days.

¹³ The 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.

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But 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,

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

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

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

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

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

¹³ The 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.

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

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

¹⁶ By 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.

¹⁸ But 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,

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

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

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

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

¹³ God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, and God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he deemed him to be delivered.

¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and the rightful or just man, and asked a manslayer to be given to you.

¹⁵ And ye slew the maker of life, whom God raised from death, of whom we be witnesses.

¹⁶ And in the faith of his name he hath confirmed this man, whom ye see and know; the name of him, and the faith that is by him, gave to this man full healing or full health in the sight of all you.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I wot that by unwitting ye did, as also your princes.

¹⁸ But God that before-told by the mouth of all prophets, that his Christ should suffer, hath fulfilled so.

¹⁹ Therefore be ye repentant, and be ye converted, that your sins be done away, that when the times of refreshing shall come from the sight of the Lord,

²⁰ and he shall send that Jesus Christ, that is now preached to you.

²¹ Whom it behooveth heaven to receive, into the times of restitution of all things, which the Lord spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the world.

²² For Moses said, For the Lord your God shall raise to you a prophet, of your brethren; as me, ye shall hear him by or upon all things, whatever he shall speak to you.

²³ And it shall be, that every man or every soul that shall not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed, or exiled, from the people.

²⁴ And all prophets from Samuel and afterward, that spake, told these days.

¹³ God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, and God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he deemed him to be delivered, or left, (or to be let go), (or when he judged him, and would have released him).

¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and the rightful (man), or Ye forsooth denied the holy and just man, and asked (for) a manslayer to be given to you. (But ye rejected this holy and just man, and asked for a murderer to be given to you.)

¹⁵ And ye slew the maker of life, whom God raised from death or whom God raised from (the) dead, of whom we be witnesses.

¹⁶ And in the faith of his name he hath confirmed this man, whom ye see and know; the name of him, and the faith that is by him, gave to this man full healing or full health in the sight of all (of) you.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I wot that by unwitting ye did, as also your princes (did). (And now, brothers, I know, that ye did this by unknowing, or ignorance, as also your leaders did.)

¹⁸ But God that before-told by the mouth of all (the) prophets, that his Christ should suffer (or that his Messiah should suffer), hath fulfilled so.

¹⁹ Therefore be ye repentant, and be ye converted, (so) that your sins be done away, (so) that when the times of refreshing shall come from the sight of the Lord,

²⁰ and (then) he shall send that Jesus Christ, that is now preached to you.

²¹ Whom it behooveth heaven to receive, into the times of restitution of all things, which the Lord spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the (beginning of the) world (or of which the Lord spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago, or from the creation of the world).

²² For Moses said, For the Lord your God shall raise to you a prophet, of your brethren; as me, ye shall hear him by all things or ye shall hear him upon all things, whatever he shall speak to you (or whatever he shall say to you).

²³ And it shall be, that every man or every soul that shall not hear that prophet (or who shall not listen to that prophet), shall be destroyed, or exiled, from the people.

²⁴ And all (the) prophets from Samuel and afterward, that spake, told (of) these days.

¹³ 'The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

¹⁴ and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man — a murderer — to be granted to you,

¹⁵ and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;

¹⁶ and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

¹⁷ 'And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did it, as also your rulers;

¹⁸ and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

¹⁹ reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²⁰ and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

²¹ whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

²² 'For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said — A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

²³ and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

²⁴ and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.
