15. And so you killed the One who gives life! But God raised him from death. We are witnesses to this.
16. It was the power of Jesus that made this crippled man well. This happened because we trusted in the power of Jesus. You can see this man, and you know him. He was made completely well because of trust in Jesus. You all saw it happen!

18. God said this would happen. He said through the prophets that his Christ would suffer and die. And now God has made these things come true in this way.
19. So you must change your hearts and lives! Come back to God, and he will forgive your sins.
