God raised this one up on the third day and granted [that] he should become visible, not to all the people but to us who had been chosen beforehand by God [as] witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

To this one all the prophets testify, [that] through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
