Peter, with authority in his voice, addressed the large crowd. " You disowned the holy and righteous one". His voice hesitated. " You asked for a murderer to be granted to you".
The captain kept listening.
" You put to death the Prince of Life the one whom God raised from the dead a fact to which we are witnesses".
The crowd was listening intently.
" And on the basis of faith in his name". He smiled at the crowd. " It is the name of Jesus". He smiled again. " He strengthened this man".
The captain kept listening.
" And now, I know that you acted in ignorance". He stared at the crowd. " Just as your rulers did also".
The captain frowned.
" But the things which God said before hand by the mouth of all the prophets that the Christ would suffer". His voice hesitated again. " He has thus fulfilled". Peter pointed a finger at the crowd. " Repent and return so that your sins may be wiped away".
With disgust in his eyes, the captain walked away.
