Acts 3:12-26 - Peter Preaches In The Temple
12 When Peter saw this, he said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Why do you stare so at us, as though it were some power or some piety of ours that had made him able to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has done this honor to his servant Jesus, whom you betrayed and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to let him go. 14 But you disowned the Holy, Righteous One. You asked to have a murderer released for you, 15 and killed the very source of life. But God raised him from the dead, as we can testify. 16 It is by his power and through faith in him that this man whom you see and recognize has been made strong again, and it is faith inspired by him that has given him the perfect health you all see.
17 Yet I know, brothers, that you did not know what you were doing, any more than your leaders did; 18 it was in this way that God fulfilled what he by all the prophets foretold that his Christ must suffer. 19 So repent and turn to God, to have your sins wiped out, and happier times will come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and he will send Jesus, your destined Christ. 21 Yet he must remain in heaven till the time for the universal reformation of which God told in ancient times by the lips of his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised me up. You must listen to everything that he tells you. 23 Anyone that will not listen to that prophet will be annihilated from among the people.'
24 Why, all the prophets from Samuel down, who have spoken, have also foretold these days. 25 You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs of the agreement that God made with your forefathers when he said to Abraham, 'Through your posterity all the families of the earth will be blessed.' 26 It was to you that God first sent his servant after he had raised him from the dead, to bless you by making every one of you turn from his wickedness."
