Acts 3:18
Compare all
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.’
24 Yes, and aall the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also1 foretold these days.  
25 aYou are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, b‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

Acts 3:18

Foreshewed (prokathggeilen). First aorist active indicative of prokataggellw, late compound to announce fully beforehand. Only twice in the N.T. in the critical text (Acts 3:18; Acts 7:52).

That his Christ should suffer (paqein ton Xriston autou). Accusative of general reference with the aorist active infinitive (paqein of pasxw) in indirect discourse (predictive purpose of God). Their crime, though real, was carrying out God's purpose (Acts 2:23; John 3:16). See the same idea in Acts 17:3; Acts 26:23. This "immense paradox" (Page) was a stumbling block to these Jews as it is yet (I Corinthians 1:23). Peter discusses the sufferings of Christ in I Peter 4:13; I Peter 5:1.
