Acts 3:18-26

18But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things.

19Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.

20Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

21For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets.

22Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’

23Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’

24“Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today.

25You are the children of those prophets, and you are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants all the families on earth will be blessed.’

26When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”
