ACTS 312 When Peter saw this, he said to them:"Men of Israel, why does this surpriseyou? Why do you stare at us as if by ourown power or godliness we had madethis man walk?

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,the God of our fathers, has glorified hisservant Jesus. You handed him over tobe killed, and you disowned him before

Pilate, though he had decided to let himgo.

14 You disowned the Holy and RighteousOne and asked that a murderer bereleased to you.

15 You killed the author of life, but Godraised him from the dead. We arewitnesses of this.

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this manwhom you see and know was madestrong. It is Jesus' name and the faiththat comes through him that has giventhis complete healing to him, as you canall see.

17 "Now, brothers, I know that you actedin ignorance, as did your leaders.

18 But this is how God fulfilled what hehad foretold through all the prophets,saying that his Christ would suffer.

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so thatyour sins may be wiped out, that timesof refreshing may come from the Lord.
