Acts 3:14

Read in context

Acts 3:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

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?

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.

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

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

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.
