Acts 3:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One[a] and asked that a murderer be released to you.(A) 15 [b]The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.(B) 16 And by faith in his name, this man, whom you see and know, his name has made strong, and the faith that comes through it has given him this perfect health, in the presence of all of you.

- 3:14 The Holy and Righteous One: so designating Jesus emphasizes his special relationship to the Father (see Lk 1:35; 4:34) and emphasizes his sinlessness and religious dignity that are placed in sharp contrast with the guilt of those who rejected him in favor of Barabbas.
- 3:15 The author of life: other possible translations of the Greek title are “leader of life” or “pioneer of life.” The title clearly points to Jesus as the source and originator of salvation.

New International Version
14 You disowned the Holy(A) and Righteous One(B) and asked that a murderer be released to you.(C) 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.(D) We are witnesses(E) of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus,(F) this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
