44 [Jesus] said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to
you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law
of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. "45 Then he
opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them,
"Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day
rise from the dead,47 and that repentance and
forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And
behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city
until you are clothed with power from on high. " |
"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man
attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did
through him in your midst, as you yourselves know---23 this Jesus, delivered
up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and
killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs
of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David
says concerning him, "'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my
right hand that I may not be shaken; |
32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore
exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the
promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are
seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he
himself says, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, 35 until
I make your enemies your footstool. ' 36 Let all the house of Israel
therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this
Jesus whom you crucified. " 37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to
Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"38
And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the
God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and
denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. 14 But
you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted
to you,15 and you killed the Author of life, whom
God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. |
18 What God foretold by the
mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, 26 God, having raised up his servant, sent
him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your
wickedness. " |
29 Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather
than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging
him on a tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to
give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses to
these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey
him. " |

38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with
power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the
devil, for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both
in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging
him on a tree, 40 but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,
41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses,
who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded
us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God
to be judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets
bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins
through his name. " |
28 Though they found in him
no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when
they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the
tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead,31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up
with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,33 this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising
Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, "'You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.' 37 But he whom God raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be
known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins
is proclaimed to you,39 and by him everyone who
believes is freed from everything... |
2 Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he
reasoned with them from the Scriptures,3 explaining
and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from
the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the
Christ." |
29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the
divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and
imagination of man. 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he
commands all people everywhere to repent,31 because
he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man
whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising
him from the dead. " |
17 The Gentiles---to whom I am sending you 18 to open their eyes,
so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who
are sanctified by faith in me. ' 19 "Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was
not disobedient to the heavenly vision,20 but
declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the
region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn
to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. 21 For this reason
the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22 To this day I have
had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to
small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would
come to pass:23 that the Christ must suffer and
that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both
to our people and to the Gentiles. " |
1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to
you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being
saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you---unless you believed
in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also
received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures,5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more
than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom
are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James,
then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared
also to me. |
