As a crowd gathers in Solomon’s Colonnade, Peter says the man was healed through faith in Jesus, whom they handed over and God raised from the dead. He calls them to repent so that their sins may be wiped away.

## Primary Scripture

[Acts 3:11–26 (BSB)](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%203%3A11%E2%80%9326&version=BSB)

3:11 While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

3:12 And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

3:14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

3:15 You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

3:17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

3:18 But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

3:19 Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

3:20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

3:21 Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

3:22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

3:23 Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

3:24 Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

3:25 And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

3:26 When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
