Jesus

You denied the holy and innocent one, and instead asked for the reprieve of a murderer!

And it is through putting trust in his name that his name has given strength to this man whom you see and know. Yes, it is the trust that comes through Yeshua which has given him this perfect healing in the presence of you all.

But this is how God fulfilled what he had announced in advance, when he spoke through all the prophets, namely, that his Messiah was to die.

“Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased;

so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord’s presence; and he may send the Messiah appointed in advance for you, that is, Yeshua.

For Moshe himself said, ‘Adonai will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You are to listen to everything he tells you.

Everyone who fails to listen to that prophet will be removed from the people and destroyed.’

So it is to you first that God has sent his servant whom he has raised up, so that he might bless you by turning each one of you from your evil ways.”

very annoyed that they were teaching the people the doctrine of resurrection from the dead and offering Yeshua as proof.

then let it be known to you and to all the people of Isra’el that it is in the name of the Messiah, Yeshua from Natzeret, whom you had executed on a stake as a criminal but whom God has raised from the dead, that this man stands before you perfectly healed.

When they saw how bold Kefa and Yochanan were, even though they were untrained ‘am-ha’aretz, they were amazed; also they recognized them as having been with Yeshua.

So they called them in again and ordered them under no circumstances to speak or teach in the name of Yeshua.

When they heard it, they raised their voices to God with singleness of heart. “Master,” they prayed, “You made heaven, earth, the sea and everything in them.

By the Ruach HaKodesh, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, you said, ‘Why did the nations rage and the peoples devise useless plans?

The kings of the earth took their stand; and the rulers assembled together against Adonai and against his Messiah.’

“This has come true in this city, since Herod and Pontius Pilate, with Goyim and the peoples of Isra’el, all assembled against your holy servant Yeshua, whom you made Messiah,

to do what your power and plan had already determined beforehand should happen.

“So now, Lord, take note of their threats; and enable your slaves to speak your message with boldness!

Stretch out your hand to heal and to do signs and miracles through the name of your holy servant Yeshua!”

With great power the emissaries continued testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, and they were all held in high regard.

But Kefa came back at her, “Then why did you people plot to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The men who buried your husband are at the door. They will carry you out too!”

and throngs of believers were added to the Lord, both men and women.

But during the night, an angel of Adonai opened the doors of the prison, led them out and said,

“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name! Look here! you have filled Yerushalayim with your teaching; moreover, you are determined to make us responsible for this man’s death!”

The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whereas you men killed him by having him hanged on a stake.
