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. ²⁰He will send the Christ. Jesus has been appointed as the Christ for you. ²¹He must remain in heaven until the time when God makes everything new. He promised this long ago through his holy prophets. ²²Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own people. You must listen to everything he tells you. ²³Those who do not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’

²⁴“Samuel and all the prophets after him spoke about this. They said these days would come. ²⁵What the prophets said was meant for you. The covenant God made with your people long ago is yours also. He said to Abraham, ‘All nations on earth will be blessed through your children.’ ²⁶God raised up Jesus, who serves him. God sent him first to you. He did it to bless you. He wanted to turn each of you from your evil ways.”
