^17 (A)From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ^(B)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”^[a]

^2 (A)“Repent, for ^(B)the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”^[a]

Jesus Begins His Ministry

^14 (A)Now after John was arrested, Jesus ^(B)came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, ¹⁵ and saying, ^(C)“The time is fulfilled, and ^(D)the kingdom of God is at hand;^{[a] (E)}repent and believe in the gospel.”

³⁸ And Peter said to them, ^(A)“Repent and ^(B)be baptized every one of you ^(C)in the name of Jesus Christ ^(D)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^(E)the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴⁷ and that ^(A)repentance for^[a] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ^(B)in his name ^(C)to all nations, ^(D)beginning from Jerusalem.

^30 (A)The times of ignorance ^(B)God overlooked, but ^(C)now he ^(D)commands all people everywhere to repent,

^32 (A)I have not come to call the righteous ^(B)but sinners ^(C)to repentance.”

^19 (A)Repent therefore, and ^(B)turn back, that ^(C)your sins may be blotted out,

¹⁰ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before ^(A)the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
