But you denied the Holy One and the Just: and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.

And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened. And the faith which is by him hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.

That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ.

For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.

And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

To you first, God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you: that every one may convert himself from his wickedness.

Being grieved that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:

Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him, this man standeth here before you, whole.

Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered: and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.

For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants that with all confidence they may speak thy word,

By stretching forth thy hand to cures and signs and wonders, to be done by the name of thy holy Son, Jesus.

And with great power did the Apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord: and great grace was in them all.

And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was more increased:

But an angel of the Lord by night, opening the doors of the prison and leading them out, said:

Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.

The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
