and you slew the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are. And through the faith of his name, his name hath made sound this one who you see and know, and through him faith has given unto him this soundness, in the presence of you all.

Moses indeed said; The Lord our God will raise up to you from your brethren a prophet like unto me; Him you will hear concerning all things so many as he may speak to you.

To you God, having first raised up his Son, sent him blessing you, in turning each one from your sins.
