¹²When Peter saw this, he said, “Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us? We haven’t made this man walk by our own power or godliness. ¹³The God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has done this. He has brought glory to Jesus, who serves him. But you handed Jesus over to be killed. Pilate had decided to let him go. But you spoke against Jesus when he was in Pilate’s court. ¹⁴You spoke against the Holy and Blameless One. You asked for a murderer to be set free instead. ¹⁵You killed the one who gives life. But God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. ¹⁶This man whom you see and know was made strong because of faith in Jesus’ name. Faith in Jesus has healed him completely. You can see it with your own eyes.

¹⁷“My friends, I know you didn’t realize what you were doing. Neither did your leaders. ¹⁸But God had given a promise through all the prophets. And this is how he has made his promise come true. He said that his Christ would suffer. ¹⁹So turn away from your sins. Turn to God. Then your sins will be wiped away. The time will come when the Lord will make everything new.
