TSK · Acts 2:22

He came to a town called Nazareth and lived there. Then what had been spoken by the prophets was fulfilled, that Jesus would be called a Nazarene.

Jesus and John the Baptist Now when John heard in prison about the deeds Christ had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:

When the men came to Jesus, they said,“John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”

They told him,“Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”

Philip found Nathanael and told him,“We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about– Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

So Jesus said to him,“Unless you people see signs and wonders you will never believe!”

“But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete– the deeds I am now doing– testify about me that the Father has sent me.

Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life– the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

Jesus responded,“Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”

So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.

If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.

When Peter saw this, he declared to the people,“Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or piety?

Then he said to the council,“Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you are about to do to these men.

you know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John announced:

When they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all the things God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.

I answered,‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me,‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’

Of course, I myself was convinced that it was necessary to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

Indeed, the signs of an apostle were performed among you with great perseverance by signs and wonders and powerful deeds.
