14Simon Peter has explained to us how God first showed his concern for those who aren’t Jews. He chose some of them to be his very own people.

15The prophets’ words agree with that. They say,

16“ ‘After this I will return

and rebuild David’s fallen tent.

I will rebuild what was destroyed.

I will make it what it used to be.
