117 This repentance has its roots in declarations of the Old Testament. It is the Hebrew concept of a turning of direction.
118 Or “preached,” “announced.”
119 To all nations. The same Greek term (τὰ ἔθνη, ta ethnē) may be translated “the Gentiles” or “the nations.” The hope of God in Christ was for all the nations from the beginning.
