Acts

Acts 3:12–13

¹²And 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?

¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant^e Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.
