(Apostle Peter accused the Judean people, and their religious leaders, chief ones, of habitually practicing ignorance of their religion instead of practicing God’s Word, truth. Isn’t that the same problem “Christian leadership” has today, massive ignorance of the knowledge of God’s Word about the Evangelism of Jesus Christ, which was replaced in the 4th century with the invention of the Evangelism of the Triune Godhead?)
Acts 3:18 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) things which (ha) the (ho) God (theos) reported down before (prokatēngeilen) through (dia) [the] mouth (stomatos) of all (pantōn) the (tōn) prophets (prophētōn), for the (ton) Christ (Christon) of him (autou) to suffer (pathein), [the God, RE] fulfilled (eplērōsen) thusly (houtōs).

(For the God oiling-out the handwriting of the dogmas against us, and our tears, see Acts 3:19; Col. 2:14; Rev. 7:17, 21:4)
Acts 3:20 (LIT/UBS4) and (kai) [the God, v18, RE] may send (aposteilē) the one (ton) having caused himself to be hand-chosen before (prokecheirismenon) for you (humin), Christ (Christon) Jesus (Iēsoun);
(For an outline of Jesus Christ’s accomplishments

3:17.)

Cause yourselves to hear (akousesthe) all things (panta) of him (autou), down according to (kata) perhaps (an) as many things as (hosa) he may speak (lalēsē) to (pros) you (humas).
Acts 3:23 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) it shall cause itself to be (estai):
Every (pasa) soul (psuchē) out (ek) of the (tou) people (laou), if perhaps (ean) whoever (hētis), may not hear (mē akousē) the (tou) prophet (prophētou), that one (ekeinou) shall be totally ruined (exolethreuthēsetai)!”

He sent (apesteilen) him (auton) eulogizing (eulogounta) to you (humas), in (en) the (tō) [eulogizing, RE] to turn away (apostrephein), each one (hekaston), from (apo) the (tōn) evils (ponēriōn) of you (humōn)!"
