Peter in Jerusalem, following the healing of the lame :

1 - He begins his speech by declining the identity of his God

3 - He proclaims the resurrection of Jesus and his power

4 - He proclaims the plan of God announced by the prophets

5 - He proclaims repentance and conversion

6 - He announces the return of Jesus and the judgment to come

7 - He affirms that the Messiah announced by the prophets has come

Pierre at Corneille :

When Peter visited the Roman centurion named Corneille, Pierre proceeded differently in his presentation.

1 - He spoke first of God

2 - Then he mentioned the coming of Jesus

3 - He spoke of the nature of his ministry in Israel

4 - He did not fail to talk about his death on the cross

5 - He warned against the coming judgment

6 - He announced the forgiveness of sins in Jesus

Paul to Lystra :

In Lystra, Paul is in pagans' homes. His talk revolves more around the vanity of idols and the reality of the living and true God. Pagans need to discover the existence of the true God. Implicitly, Paul puts pagans in the face of the transgression of the first and second commandments. He puts them thus against the law (Acts 20:22-24).
