Peter’s Speech at Solomon’s Porch – Acts 3:11-24
As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran
together to them in the entrance that is called Solomon’s Porch, greatly amazed.
12 When Peter saw it, he answered the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel
at this man? Or why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had
made him walk? 13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our
fathers, has glorified His Son Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the
presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him. 14 You denied the Holy
and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and you
killed the Creator of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are
witnesses. 16 And His name, by faith in His name, has made this man strong,
whom you see and know. And faith which comes through Him has given him
perfect health in your presence.
17 “Now brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18
But what God foretold through all the prophets, that His Christ should suffer, He
thus fulfilled. 19 Therefore repent and be converted, that your sins may be wiped
away, that mes of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and
that He may send the One who previously was preached to you, Jesus Christ, 21
whom the heavens must receive unl the me of restoring what God spoke
through all His holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses indeed said to
the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your
brothers. You shall hear whatever He may say to you. 23 And it shall be that every
soul who will not hear that prophet shall be uterly eliminated from the
people.’[a]
24 “Indeed, all the prophets since Samuel and those who follow, as many as have
spoken, have likewise foretold these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and
of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in
your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’[b] 26 God, having raised
up His Son Jesus, sent Him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you
from your iniquies.”
