Acts 3:18-26

18But the things which 1God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, 2that His 3Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

19Therefore 4repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that 5times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

20and that He may send Jesus, the 6Christ appointed for you,

217whom heaven must receive until the 8period of 9restoration of all things about which 10God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

22Moses said, ‘11The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet 12like me from your brethren; to Him you shall give heed to everything He says to you.

2313And it will be that every 14soul that does not heed that prophet 15shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

24And likewise, 16all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also announced these days.

25It is you who are 17the sons of the prophets and of the 18covenant which God 19made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘20And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

26For you 21first, God 22raised up His 23Servant and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”
