Acts 3:11-26
Christian Standard Bible
Preaching in Solomon’s Colonnade
11 While he[a] was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran toward them in what is called Solomon’s Colonnade.(A) 12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors,(B) has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate,(C) though he had decided to release him. 14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One(D) and asked to have a murderer released to you.(E) 15 You killed the source[b] of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this.(F) 16 By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.
17 “And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did.(G) 18 In this way God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets—that his Messiah would suffer.(H) 19 Therefore repent(I) and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out,(J) 20 that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed(K) for you as the Messiah. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning.(L) 22 Moses said:[c] The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you. 23 And everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be completely cut off from the people.[d](M)
24 “In addition, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, have also foretold these days. 25 You are the sons[e] of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And all the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.[f](N) 26 God raised up his servant[g] and sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways.”(O)

Peter Speaks to the Onlookers
11 While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them in what was called “Solomon’s Colonnade”. They were dumbfounded. 12 When Peter saw this, he told the people: “Fellow Israelis, why are you wondering about this, and why are you staring at us as if by our own power or godliness we made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our ancestors—has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even though he had decided to let him go. 14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer released to you, 15 and you killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead. We are witnesses to that. 16 It is his name—that is, by faith in his name—that has healed this man whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that comes through Jesus[a] has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.
17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance like your leaders. 18 This is how God fulfilled what he had predicted through the voice of all the prophets—that his Messiah[b] would suffer. 19 Therefore, repent and turn to him to have your sins blotted out, 20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord and so that he may send you Jesus, whom he appointed long ago to be the Messiah.[c] 21 He must remain in heaven until the time of universal restitution, which God announced long ago through the voice of his holy prophets. 22 In fact, Moses said,
‘The Lord[d] your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you.[e] 23 Any person who will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’[f]
24 “Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who followed him, also announced these days. 25 You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs[g] of the covenant that God made with your[h] ancestors when he told Abraham, ‘Through your descendant[i] all the families of the earth will be blessed.’[j] 26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
