Acts

Acts 3:13–15

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. ¹⁴You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. ¹⁵You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.
