Or why look so intently at us, as though by 2our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God ofAbraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus,whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he wasdetermined to let Him go. 14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, andasked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whomGod raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16And His name, throughfaith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, thefaith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in thepresence of you all.17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that theChrist would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be converted,that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come fromthe presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who waspreached to you before, 21whom heaven must receive until the times ofrestoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holyprophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lordyour God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him youshall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23And it shall be that every soulwho will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among thepeople.’ 24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, asmany as have spoken, have also foretold these days. 25 You are sons of theprophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying toAbraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 Toyou first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, inturning away every one of you from your iniquities.”Acts 3:19 “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blottedout, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,”Support the show
