Acts 3:17–26

¹⁷“And now, brothers, I know that ^oyou acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. ¹⁸But what God ^pforetold ^qby the mouth of all the prophets, that ^rhis Christ would ^ssuffer, he thus fulfilled. ^19tRepent therefore, and ^uturn back, that ^vyour sins may be blotted out, ²⁰that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ ^wappointed for you, Jesus, ^21xwhom heaven must receive until the time for ^yrestoring all the things about which ^zGod spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. ²²Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you ^aa prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen ^bto him in whatever he tells you. ²³And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet ^cshall be destroyed from the people.’ ²⁴And ^dall the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. ^25eYou are the sons of the prophets and of ^fthe covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ^g‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ ^26hGod, ⁱhaving raised up his servant, sent him to you first, ^jto bless you ^kby turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
