They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen Him going into heaven.”

When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Or why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness?

You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant:

Why did the Gentiles rage

Then Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?

Wasn’t it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn’t it at your disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God!”

I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’

And now, why delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins by calling on His name.’

Why is it considered incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
