Peter Speaks to the Onlookers
11 While the man held on to Peter and John,(A) all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade.(B) 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,(C) the God of our fathers,(D) has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over(E) to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate,(F) though he had decided to let him go.(G) 14 You disowned the Holy(H) and Righteous One(I) and asked that a murderer be released to you.(J) 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.(K) We are witnesses(L) of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus,(M) this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
17 “Now, fellow Israelites,(N) I know that you acted in ignorance,(O) as did your leaders.(P) 18 But this is how God fulfilled(Q) what he had foretold(R) through all the prophets,(S) saying that his Messiah would suffer.(T) 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,(U) that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 20 and that he may send the Messiah,(V) who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him(W) until the time comes for God to restore everything,(X) as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.(Y) 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.(Z) 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](AA)
24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(AB) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs(AC) of the prophets and of the covenant(AD) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](AE) 26 When God raised up(AF) his servant, he sent him first(AG) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

Peter’s Second Sermon
11 While he was clinging to (A)Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the [a](B)portico named Solomon’s, completely astonished. 12 But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why are you staring at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk? 13 (C)The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (D)the God of our fathers, has glorified His [b](E)servant Jesus, the one whom (F)you handed over and disowned in the presence of (G)Pilate, when he had (H)decided to release Him. 14 But you disowned (I)the Holy and Righteous One, and (J)asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 but put to death the [c](K)Prince of life, whom (L)God raised from the dead, [d]a fact to which we are (M)witnesses. 16 And on the basis of faith (N)in His name, it is [e]the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes 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 also did. 18 But the things which (Q)God previously announced by the mouths of all the prophets, (R)that His [f]Christ would suffer, He has fulfilled in this way. 19 Therefore (S)repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that (T)times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the [g]Christ appointed for you, 21 (U)whom heaven must receive until the [h]period of (V)restoration of all things, about which (W)God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times. 22 Moses said, ‘(X)The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you. 23 (Y)And it shall be that every (Z)soul that does not listen to 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, have also announced these days. 25 It is you who are (AC)the sons of the prophets and of the (AD)covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘(AE)And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 God (AF)raised up His [i]Servant for you (AG)first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”
