Peter Preaching in Solomon’s Portico to Jews

Acts 3:13-20
New King James Version (NKJV)

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, ¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁷ “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. ¹⁸ But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. ¹⁹ Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, ²⁰ and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,

What is Repentance in this passage?

Before

Jews used to think :

• Denied the Holy One and the Just, and
• asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
• ¹⁵ and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

After

• Accept the Holy One, and the Just
• Accept Jesus is the Prince of Life

Changing your mind from Before to After is called Repentance

• Repentance means Change of Mind.
