The Acts of the Apostles - Part 2

John Nelson Darby100 Acts 3 - 17 What is striking here is that, after the setting up, in a sense, of the church, and saying "Save yourselves from this untoward generation," Peter then addresses himself to Israel as such, and tells them "Repent ye, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out," not ...
