Acts 3:18-25

¹⁸But 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.

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

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

²¹But 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.

²²Moses 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.

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

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

²⁵You yourselves are the heirs of the prophets, and heirs, too, of the covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham — ‘In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.’
