¹⁷ Listen, friends, I know you didn’t fully realize what you were doing when you rejected and betrayed Jesus. I know that you, and your rulers as well, were acting in ignorance. ¹⁸ God was at work in all this, fulfilling what He had predicted through all the prophets—that the Anointed One would suffer. ¹⁹ So now you need to rethink everything and turn to God so your sins will be forgiven and a new day can dawn, days of refreshing times flowing from the Lord.
