12 And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? 13 ^aThe God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, ^bthe God of our fathers, ^cglorified his servant¹ Jesus, whom ^dyou delivered over and ^edenied in the presence of Pilate, ^fwhen he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied ^gthe Holy and ^hRighteous One, and ⁱasked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and you killed ^jthe Author of life, ^kwhom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16 And ^lhis name—by ^mfaith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is ⁿthrough Jesus² has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

17 “And now, brothers, I know that ^oyou acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God ^pforetold ^qby the mouth of all the prophets, that ^rhis Christ would ^ssuffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 ^tRepent therefore, and ^uturn back, that ^vyour sins may be blotted out,

For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, ^hhe showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved ⁱfor joy and were marveling, ^jhe said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish,¹ 43 and he took it and ate before them.

44 Then he said to them, ^k“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, ^lthat everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then ^mhe opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus ⁿit is written, ^othat the Christ should suffer and on the third day ^prise from the dead, 47 and that ^qrepentance for² the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ^rin his name ^sto all nations, ^tbeginning from Jerusalem. 48 ^uYou are witnesses of these things.
