19 Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,

20 and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,

21 whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began.

22 Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.

23 And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

24 And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.

25 *Ye* are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

26 To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,(A) that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20 and that he may send the Messiah,(B) who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him(C) until the time comes for God to restore everything,(D) as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.(E) 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.(F) 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](G)

24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(H) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs(I) of the prophets and of the covenant(J) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](K) 26 When God raised up(L) his servant, he sent him first(M) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
