Introduction

1  Peter preaching to the people that came to see a lame man restored to his feet,
12  professes the cure not to have been wrought by his or John's own power or holiness, but by God, and his son Jesus, and through faith in his name;
13  withal reprehending them for crucifying Jesus;
17  which because they did it through ignorance, and that thereby were fulfilled God's determinate counsel, and the Scriptures,
19  he exhorts them by repentance and faith to seek remission of their sins, and salvation in the same Jesus.
