15 Und nach der Vorlesung des Gesetzes und der Propheten ließen die Obersten der Synagoge ihnen sagen: Ihr Männer und Brüder, wenn ihr ein Wort der Ermahnung an das Volk habt, so redet!
16 Da stand Paulus auf und gab ein Zeichen mit der Hand und sprach: Ihr israelitischen Männer, und die ihr Gott fürchtet[a], hört zu!
17 Der Gott dieses Volkes Israel erwählte unsere Väter und erhöhte das Volk, als sie Fremdlinge waren im Land Ägypten; und mit erhobenem Arm führte er sie von dort heraus.
