Acts 3:13-20 New English Translation (NET)

13. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate after he had decided to release him.

14. But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you.

15. You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!

16. And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ name, his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The faith that is through Jesus has given him this complete health in the presence of you all.

17. And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, as your rulers did too.

18. But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets – that his Christ would suffer – he has fulfilled in this way.

19. Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out,

20. so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and so that he may send the Messiah appointed for you – that is, Jesus.
