But standing up with the Eleven, Peter lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, Men, Jews, and all the ones living in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words:
Go up for yourself on the high mountain, one bearing good news to Zion; lift up your voice with strength, one bearing good news to Jerusalem. Lift up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, Behold! Your God!
Hear Me, pursuers of righteousness, seekers of Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the hollow of the pit from which you were dug.
Hear Me, those knowing righteousness, the people of My Law in their heart; do not fear the reproach of man, and do not be bowed from their blasphemings.
Why do you weigh out silver for that which is not bread, and your labor for what is not to satisfaction? Listening, listen to Me and eat the good; and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Call out with the throat; do not spare. Lift up your voice like the rams` horn! And declare to My people their transgressions, and their sins to the house of Jacob.
Put a rams’ horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have passed over My covenant and have transgressed against My Law.
Men, Israelites, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a Man from God, having been exhibited among you by works of power and wonders and miraculous signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,
crying out, Men, Israelites, help! This is the man, the one teaching all everywhere against the people and the Law and this place. And even more, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.
And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and hear, O Israel: Today you have become the people of Jehovah your God.
Hear, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor ones of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to the ones loving Him?
