“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”
Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know — Peter addresses Israel (andres Israelitai) as the covenantal community, appealing to their corporate memory and direct experience. Jesus' miracles, wonders, and signs (dynameis, terata, sēmeia) were publicly witnessed; the crowd knew of them firsthand. The concentration of miracles in Jesus' ministry is unique in Israel's history and accredits him as God's messenger.
