Acts 3:19 — Acts 4:12

19 Repent therefore and turn, that your sins may be wiped away,

20 So that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord and that He may send the Christ, who has been previously appointed for you, Jesus,

21 Whom heaven must indeed receive until the times of the restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from of old.

22 Moses said, a”A Prophet will the Lord your God braise up unto you from your brothers, like me; Him shall you hear in whatever things He speaks to you.

23 And it shall be that every soul who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.”

24 And also all the prophets, from Samuel and those in succession after him, as many as spoke, also announced these days.

25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with your fathers, saying to Abraham, “And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.”

26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant, has sent Him to bless you in turning each of you away from your wicked deeds.

CHAPTER 4

1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 Being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid their hands on them and placed them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

4 But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of men came to about five thousand.

5 And on the next day their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,

6 As well as Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and as many as were of high-priestly descent.

7 And they stood them in the midst and inquired, By what power or in what name did you do this?

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders,

9 If we today are being examined regarding a good deed done to a sick man, by what means this man has been healed,

10 Let it be known to you all and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified and whom God has raised from the dead, in this name this man stands before you in good health.

11 This is the stone which was considered as nothing by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.

12 And there is salvation in no other, for neither is there another name under heaven given among men in which we must be saved.
