Acts 3:14-21

14But you disowned 1the Holy and Righteous One and 2asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15but put to death the 34Prince of life, the one whom 5God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are 6witnesses. 16And on the basis of faith 7in His name, it is 8the 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, brethren, I know that you acted 9in ignorance, just as your 10rulers did also. 18But the things which 11God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, 12that His 13Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19Therefore 14repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that 15times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20and that He may send Jesus, the 16Christ appointed for you, 2117whom heaven must receive until the 18period of 19restoration of all things about which 20God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.
