22. Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will give you a prophet like me, who is one of your own people. You must listen to everything he tells you.
23. Anyone who does not listen to that prophet will die, cut off from God’s people.’
24. Samuel, and all the other prophets who spoke for God after Samuel, told about this time now.
25. You are descendants of the prophets. You have received the agreement God made with your ancestors. He said to your father Abraham, ‘Through your descendants all the nations on the earth will be blessed.’
26. God has raised up his servant Jesus and sent him to you first to bless you by turning each of you away from doing evil.”
