Having made this declaration, Paul said, "Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew Him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning Him."

Da Paulus havde forkyndt dette, sagde han: "Brødre, både I, som er sønner af Abrahams slægt, og I andre her, som frygter Gud! det er til os, at ordet om denne frelse er sendt. Thi indbyggerne i Jerusalem og deres rådsherrer ville ikke vide af ham; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved profeternes udsagn, som forelæses hver sabbat."
