being called of Solomon greatly amazed. 12 and seeing Peter answered to the people: Men Israelites, why marvel ye at this man, or at us why gaze ye as by our own power or piety having made to walk him? 13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of the fathers of us, glorified the servant of him Jesus, whom ye delivered and denied in the presence of Pilate, having decided that one to release him; 14 but ye the holy and just one denied, and asked a man a murderer to be granted you, 15 and the Author of life ye killed, whom God raised from the dead, of which we witnesses are. 16 and on the faith of the name of him this man whom ye behold and know, made firm the name of him, and the faith through him gave them soundness before all you. 17 and now brothers I know that by way of ignorance ye acted, as also the rulers of you; 18 but God the things he for announced through the mouth of all the prophets, to duffer the Christ of him fulfilled thus. 19 Repent you therefore and turn for the to be wiped away of you the sins, 20 so as may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and he may send the having been for appointed for you Christ Jesus. 21 whom it behoves heaven to receive until the

times of restitution of all things which spoke God through the mouth of the holy from the age of him prophets. 22 Moses indeed said. A prophet for you will raise up the Lord God of the brothers of you as me: him shall ye hear according to all things whatever he may speak to you. 23 and it shall be every soul whoever hears not that prophet will e utterly destroyed out of the people. 24 also all And the prophets from Samuel and the ones in order as many as spoke also announced days these. 25 Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with the fathers of us; saying to Abraham: And in the seed of thee shall be blessed all the families of the earth. 26 To you first having raised up God the servant of him sent him blessing you in the to turn away each one from the iniquities of you.
