Peter’s Sermon in Solomon’s Portico
11 And while he was clinging to (A)Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the [a](B)portico called Solomon’s, full of wonder. 12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk? 13 (C)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (D)the God of our fathers, has glorified His (E)Servant Jesus, whom (F)you delivered and denied in the presence of (G)Pilate, when he had (H)decided to release Him. 14 But you denied (I)the Holy and Righteous One and (J)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 but put to death the (K)Author of life, whom (L)God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are (M)witnesses. 16 And on the basis of faith (N)in His name, it is [b]the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which is through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted (O)in ignorance, just as your (P)rulers did also. 18 But the things which (Q)God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, (R)that His [c]Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Therefore (S)repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that [d](T)times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the [e]Christ appointed for you, 21 (U)whom heaven must receive until the [f]period of (V)restoration of all things about which (W)God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time. 22 Moses said, ‘(X)The [g]Lord God will raise up for you a prophet [h]like me from your brothers; to Him you shall listen to everything He says to you. 23 (Y)And it will be that every (Z)soul that does not heed that prophet (AA)shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 And likewise, (AB)all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also proclaimed these days. 25 It is you who are (AC)the sons of the prophets and of the (AD)covenant which God [i]made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘(AE)And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 For you (AF)first, God (AG)raised up His [j]Servant and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”

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)
