¹⁷ “And now, brothers, I know that ^(A)you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. ¹⁸ But what God ^(B)foretold ^(C)by the mouth of all the prophets, that ^(D)his Christ would ^(E)suffer, he thus fulfilled. ^19 (F)Repent therefore, and ^(G)turn back, that ^(H)your sins may be blotted out, ²⁰ that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ ^(I)appointed for you, Jesus, ^21 (J)whom heaven must receive until the time for ^(K)restoring all the things about which ^(L)God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. ²² Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you ^(M)a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen ^(N)to him in whatever he tells you. ²³ And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet ^(O)shall be destroyed from the people.’ ²⁴ And ^(P)all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. ^25 (Q)You are the sons of the prophets and of ^(R)the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ^(S)‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ ^26 (T)God, ^(U)having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, ^(V)to bless you ^(W)by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

Peter and John Before the Council

4 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and ^(X)the captain of the temple and ^(Y)the Sadducees came upon them, ² greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming ^(Z)in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ³ And they arrested them and ^(AA)put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. ⁴ But many of those who had heard the word believed, and ^(AB)the number of the men came to about five thousand.
