11. And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12. And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?
13. The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
14. But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man that was a murderer should be granted to you;
15. but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among the dead, whereof we are witnesses.
16. And, by faith in his name, his name has made this man strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.
17. And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
18. but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19. Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
20. and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
21. whom heaven indeed must receive till the times of the restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began.
22. Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.
23. And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
