Acts 3:17

³⁴Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

²⁷For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

³They will do these things^[+] because they have not known the Father nor me.

⁸which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹³although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

¹⁴But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

⁹“I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? ²⁷However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

⁵²They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
