Acts 3:14-26

14 But you denied ¹the Holy and ²Righteous One, and ³asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

15 and you killed ⁴the Author of life, ⁵whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses.

16 And ⁶his name--by ⁷faith in his name--has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is ⁸through Jesus^[a] has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

17 "And now, brothers, I know that ⁹you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

18 But what God ¹⁰foretold ¹¹by the mouth of all the prophets, that ¹²his Christ would ¹³suffer, he thus fulfilled.

19 ¹⁴Repent therefore, and ¹⁵turn again, that ¹⁶your sins may be blotted out,

20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ ¹⁷appointed for you, Jesus,

21 ¹⁸whom heaven must receive until the time for ¹⁹restoring all the things about which ²⁰God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

22 Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you ²¹a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen ²²to him in whatever he tells you.

23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet ²³shall be destroyed from the people.'

24 And ²⁴all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.

25 ²⁵You are the sons of the prophets and of ²⁶the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ²⁷'And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'

26 ²⁸God, ²⁹having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, ³⁰to bless you ³¹by turning every one of you from your wickedness."
