Acts 3:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 3:17

15 and killed the Prince of life, ^awhom God raised from the dead, ^bof which we are witnesses.

16 ^aAnd His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that ^ayou did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

18 But ^athose things which God foretold ^bby the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

19 ^aRepent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was² preached to you before,

21 ^awhom heaven must receive until the times of ^brestoration of all things, ^cwhich God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since¹ the world began.

22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ^a‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
