¹⁷ “And now, brothers, I know that you acted ^(A)in ignorance, just as your ^(B)rulers also did. ¹⁸ But the things which ^(C)God previously announced by the mouths of all the prophets, ^(D)that His ^[a]Christ would suffer, He has fulfilled in this way. ¹⁹ Therefore ^(E)repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that ^(F)times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; ²⁰ and that He may send Jesus, the ^[b]Christ appointed for you, ^21 (G)whom heaven must receive until the ^[c]period of ^(H)restoration of all things, about which ^(I)God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times. ²² Moses said, ‘^(J)The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you. ^23 (K)And it shall be that every ^(L)soul that does not listen to that prophet ^(M)shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ ²⁴ And likewise, ^(N)all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and his successors onward, have also announced these days. ²⁵ It is you who are ^(O)the sons of the prophets and of the ^(P)covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘^(Q)And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ ²⁶ God ^(R)raised up His ^[d]Servant for you ^(S)first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”
