Peter's Address at Solomon's Colonnade

Acts 3:11-26
11While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the portico called Solomon's, astonished. 12But Peter, seeing it, answered the people: 'Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this, or why do you gaze at us as though we had made him walk by our own power or piety?' 13The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his child Jesus, whom you delivered and denied before the face of Pilate when he had judged to release that one. 14But you denied the holy and just one and asked that a murderer be granted to you. 15But the founder of life you killed, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16And upon the faith of his name, this one whom you see and know, his name strengthened him; and the faith that is through him gave him this wholeness opposite all of you. 17And now, brothers, I know that you acted according to ignorance, just as your rulers also did. 18But God fulfilled what he foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer. 19Repent therefore and turn, so that your sins may be blotted out. 20That times of refreshing may come from the face of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ Jesus who was appointed for you. 21Whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from an age. 22Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers; you shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.' 23And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people. 24And all the prophets also, from Samuel and those after in order, as many as spoke, proclaimed these days. 25You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed shall all the family lines of the earth be blessed.' 26To you first, God, having raised up his child, sent him blessing you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.
