Acts 3:12–19

¹²And when he^* saw it,^* Peter replied to the people, “Men and Israelites, why are you astonished at this? Or why are you staring at us, as if by our own power or godliness we have made him walk? ¹³The God of Abraham and of Isaac^f and of Jacob,^g the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, after^h he had decided to release him.^{* 14}But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and demanded that a man—a murderer—be granted to you. ¹⁵And you killed the originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses! ¹⁶And on the basis of faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know, and the faith that is through him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all. ¹⁷And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also. ¹⁸But the things which God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christⁱ would suffer, he has fulfilled in this way. ¹⁹Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out,
