Acts 3:17–26

¹⁷“And now, brethren, I know that you acted ^ain ignorance, just as your ^brulers did also.

¹⁸“But the things which ^aGod announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, ^bthat His ¹Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

¹⁹“Therefore ^arepent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that ^btimes of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

²⁰and that He may send Jesus, the ¹Christ appointed for you,

^21awhom heaven must receive until the ¹period of ^brestoration of all things about which ^cGod spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

²²“Moses said, ‘^aThe Lord God will raise up for you a prophet ¹like me from your brethren; to Him you shall give heed to everything He says to you.

²³‘^aAnd it will be that every ^bsoul that does not heed that prophet ^cshall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

²⁴“And likewise, ^aall the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also announced these days.

²⁵“It is you who are ^athe sons of the prophets and of the ^bcovenant which God ¹made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘^cAnd in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

²⁶“For you ^afirst, God ^braised up His ¹Servant and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”
