¹²When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? ¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,^t the God of our fathers,^u has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over^v to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate,^w though he had decided to let him go.^x ¹⁴You disowned the Holy^y and Righteous One^z and asked that a murderer be released to you.^a ¹⁵You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.^b We are witnesses^c of this. ¹⁶By faith in the name of Jesus,^d this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

¹⁷“Now, fellow Israelites,^e I know that you acted in ignorance,^f as did your leaders.^g ¹⁸But this is how God fulfilled^h what he had foretoldⁱ through all the prophets,^j saying that his Messiah would suffer.^k ¹⁹Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,^l that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
