The Acts of the Apostles    3: 13-15, 17-19

3:13 The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you, indeed, handed over and denied before the face of Pilate, when he was giving judgment to release him.
3:14 Then you denied the Holy and Just One, and petitioned for a murderous man to be given to you.
3:15 Truly, it was the Author of Life whom you put to death, whom God raised from the dead, to whom we are witnesses.
3:17 And now, brothers, I know that you did this through ignorance, just as your leaders also did.
3:18 But in this way God has fulfilled the things that he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the Prophets: that his Christ would suffer.
3:19 Therefore, repent and be converted, so that your sins may be wiped away.
