11 While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomons Portico, utterly astonished. 12When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, You Israelites,* why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? 13The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our ancestors has glorified his servant* Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him. 14But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you, 15and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16And by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know; and the faith that is through Jesus* has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.
17 And now, friends,* I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah* would suffer. 19Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, 20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah* appointed for you, that is, Jesus, 21who must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets. 22Moses said, The Lord your God will raise up for you from your own people* a prophet like me. You must listen to whatever he tells you. 23And it will be that everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly rooted out from the people. 24And all the prophets, as many as have spoken, from Samuel and those after him, also predicted these days. 25You are the descendants of the prophets and of the covenant that God gave to your ancestors, saying to Abraham, And in your descendants all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 26When God raised up his servant,* he sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.

1 O Lord our governor, ♦︎
how glorious is your name in all the world!
2 Your majesty above the heavens is praised ♦︎
out of the mouths of babes at the breast.
3 You have founded a stronghold against your foes, ♦︎
that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, ♦︎
the moon and the stars that you have ordained,
5 What is man, that you should be mindful of him; ♦︎
the son of man, that you should seek him out?
6 You have made him little lower than the angels ♦︎
and crown him with glory and honour.
7 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands ♦︎
and put all things under his feet,
8 All sheep and oxen, ♦︎
even the wild beasts of the field,
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea ♦︎
and whatsoever moves in the paths of the sea.
10 O Lord our governor, ♦︎
how glorious is your name in all the world!

35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, Peace be with you.* 37They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38He said to them, Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. 40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.* 41While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat? 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate in their presence.
44 Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with youthat everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled. 45Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46and he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Messiah* is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses* of these things.
