3:11 While the man ¹  was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway ²  called Solomon’s Portico. ³  3:12 When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, “Men of Israel, ⁴  why are you amazed at this? Why ⁵  do you stare at us as if we had made this man ⁶  walk by our own power or piety? 3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ⁷  the God of our forefathers, ⁸  has glorified ⁹  his servant ¹⁰  Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected ¹¹  in the presence of Pilate after he had decided ¹²  to release him. 3:14 But you rejected ¹³  the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you. 3:15 You killed ¹⁴  the Originator ¹⁵  of life, whom God raised ¹⁶  from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! ¹⁷  3:16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ ¹⁸  name, ¹⁹  his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The ²⁰  faith that is through Jesus ²¹  has given him this complete health in the presence ²²  of you all. 3:17 And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, ²³  as your rulers did too. 3:18 But the things God foretold ²⁴  long ago through ²⁵  all the prophets – that his Christ ²⁶  would suffer – he has fulfilled in this way. 3:19 Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out, 3:20 so that times of refreshing ²⁷  may come from the presence of the Lord, ²⁸  and so that he may send the Messiah ²⁹  appointed ³⁰  for you – that is, Jesus. 3:21 This one ³¹  heaven must ³²  receive until the time all things are restored, ³³  which God declared ³⁴  from times long ago ³⁵  through his holy prophets. 3:22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey ³⁶  him in everything he tells you. ³⁷  3:23 Every person ³⁸  who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed ³⁹  from the people.’ ⁴⁰  3:24 And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced ⁴¹  these days. 3:25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, ⁴²  saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants ⁴³  all the nations ⁴⁴  of the earth will be blessed.’ ⁴⁵  3:26 God raised up ⁴⁶  his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning ⁴⁷  each one of you from your iniquities.” ⁴⁸
