Furthermore, as he said before, that he and the other Apostles were witnesses of Christs life: so he doth now declare that this life was manifestly proved unto the Jews by a sign or effect: because they see the cripple healed, in whom they had an excellent and evident token of the divine power of Christ. And when as in this last member he maketh faith the cause of this soundness, he layeth unthankfulness to their charge by the way, unless they give faith her due praise. And although faith may be referred as well unto the man that was healed, as unto the Apostles, yet we need not to stand much about this matter, because the power of the Gospel is set forth by Synecdoche.

17 And now brethren, I know that through ignorance you did it: as did also your rulers. 18 And God hath fulfilled all things which he had spoken by the mouth of his ⟨p. 75⟩prophets, that Christ should suffer. 19 Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be forgiven: 20 When the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him that was“ preached before, Jesus Christ. 21 Whom heaven must contain until the time that all things be restored, which he hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the beginning of the world.
