After, Peter had explained to the large crowd in fron of him that what happened that day was in fulfillment of prophesy, he continued by beginning to preach about Jesus. Moreover, in his words he did not use politically correct language but told them clearly that they were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus as you can read in Acts 2:23b

"... And you, with the help of wicked men, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross."

However, Peter did not stop there for he he then shared with them that this had taken place with the foreknowledge of God as you can read in Acts 2:23a

"This Man (Jesus) was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge."

Peter further explained that God had raised Jesus from the dead as you can read in Acts 2:24a

"But God raised Him from the dead."

And Peter then went on to say that afterwards Jesus had been taken up into heaven as you can read in Acts 2:36

"Exalted to the right hand of God, He has received from Him the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear."

Peter ended his sermon by telling the crowd that Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God from where He has poured out the Holy Spirit, the One who empowered Peter to preach that powerful message they had just heard.
