14. But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you.

15. You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.

16. By faith in His name, His name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Him has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.

17. “And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.

18. But what God predicted through the mouth of all the prophets — that His Messiah would suffer — He has fulfilled in this way.

19. Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

20. and that He may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah.

21. Heaven must welcome Him until the times of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about by the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning.
