In context

21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.

22But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

23That the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”
