Peter's Address at Solomon's Colonnade

Acts 3:11-26

Chapter 3
11 While the man was holding on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the portico called Solomon's, astonished. 12 But when he saw it, Peter answered the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this, or why do you gaze at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?" 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his child Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied the holy and righteous one and requested that a murderer be granted to you. 15 But you killed the author of life, whom God raised from the dead. We are witnesses of him. 16 And by faith in his name, this one whom you see and know, his name has strengthened him. And the faith that comes through him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all. 17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did. 18 But the God who foretold through the mouth of all the prophets that his Christ would suffer has fulfilled this in this way. 19 Repent therefore and turn, so that your sins may be blotted out, 20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the one appointed for you—Christ Jesus— 21 Heaven must indeed receive him until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke of through the mouth of his holy prophets from eternal ages. 22 Moses said, "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet from your brothers, like me; you shall listen to him in everything he tells you." 23 And every soul that does not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from the people. 24 All the prophets from Samuel onward, as many as spoke, announced these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your Seed shall be blessed all the clans of the earth." 26 To you first, God raised up his child and sent him, blessing you by turning each of you away from your wickednesses.
