← Acts 3:14	Acts 3:15 (KJV)	Acts 3:16 →
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;	And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.	And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
