17 “Now, fellow Israelites,(A) I know that you acted in ignorance,(B) as did your leaders.(C) 18 But this is how God fulfilled(D) what he had foretold(E) through all the prophets,(F) saying that his Messiah would suffer.(G) 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,(H) that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20 and that he may send the Messiah,(I) who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him(J) until the time comes for God to restore everything,(K) as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.(L) 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.(M) 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](N)

  1. Acts 3:23 Deut. 18:15,18,19

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
