Acts 3:18

Jesus
Prophecy

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.

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

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

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

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.
