Peter Speaks to the Onlookers
11While the man held on to Peter and John,(A) all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade.(B) 12When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,(C) the God of our fathers,(D) has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over(E) to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate,(F) though he had decided to let him go.(G) 14You disowned the Holy(H) and Righteous One(I) and asked that a murderer be released to you.(J) 15You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.(K) We are witnesses(L) of this. 16By faith in the name of Jesus,(M) this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
17“Now, fellow Israelites,(N) I know that you acted in ignorance,(O) as did your leaders.(P) 18But this is how God fulfilled(Q) what he had foretold(R) through all the prophets,(S) saying that his Messiah would suffer.(T) 19Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,(U) that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20and that he may send the Messiah,(V) who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21Heaven must receive him(W) until the time comes for God to restore everything,(X) as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.(Y) 22For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.(Z) 23Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](AA)
24“Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(AB) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25And you are heirs(AC) of the prophets and of the covenant(AD) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](AE) 26When God raised up(AF) his servant, he sent him first(AG) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
