Or why look ye so intently on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him; but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man?? murderer??e granted to you; read more.

And His name, by the faith of His name, gave strength to this man, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is through Him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. "And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers; but God thus fulfilled what He before announced through the mouth of all His prophets, that His Christ should suffer.

Moses, indeed, said, 'A prophet will the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren, as He did me; to Him shall ye hearken in all things, whatsoever He shall say to you. And it shall be, that every soul that will not hearken to that Prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.' And also all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession, as many as spake, also foretold these days. Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' To you first, God, having raised up His Child, sent Him forth, blessing you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, "Men of Judaea, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words; for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day; but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel: read more.
'And it shall be in the last days', saith God, 'I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; yea, and on My servants and on My handmaidens in those days will I pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath??lood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come. And it shall be, that every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited from God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did through Him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know; This Man, delivered up by the settled counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, having fastened to the cross, through the hand of lawless ones, did slay: Whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death; because it was not possible that He should be held by it. For David says concerning Him, 'I beheld the Lord in my presence continually; because He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. Therefore, my heart was glad, and my tongue greatly rejoiced; moreover my flesh also shall abide in hope: because Thou wilt not leave My soul behind unto Hades; neither wilt Thou give Thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou didst make known to Me the ways of life; Thou wilt make Me full of gladness with Thy presence.' "Brethren! It is permitted to speak to you freely concerning the patriarch David, that he both died, and was buried; and his tomb is among us till this day; being, therefore, a prophet, and knowing that with an oath God swore to him, that out of the fruit of his loins One should sit on his throne; he, foreseeing it, spake concerning the resurrection of Christ, that neither was He left behind unto Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. "This Jesus God raised up; of which fact we all are witnesses. Being, therefore, exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He was pouring forth this which ye both see and hear. For David did not ascend into Heaven; but he himself says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand, till I make Thy foes a footstool for Thy feet.' "Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God made Him both Lord and Christ??his Jesus Whom ye crucified." And, hearing this, they were pricked in the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren! what shall we do?" And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be immersed each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit; for the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off??s many as the Lord our God shall call to Him." Also with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"
