This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it.

This same Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge?’ God sent as both ruler and deliverer through the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles.

but God raised him up on the third day and caused him to be seen,

Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.”

God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

but Paul insisted that they should not take along this one who had left them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.

Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to report to him.”

shouting, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our law, and this sanctuary! Furthermore he has brought Greeks into the inner courts of the temple and made this holy place ritually unclean!”
