Peter heals in the name of Jesus - he does so in such a way as to not take any credit for the miracle in stating "...his name itself has made this man strong... through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you." I find that this really points out a key component of our lives - to behave as instruments or Jesus rather than to try to do so much on our own.
The necessity of repentence is also emphasized, as well as the concept that Christ's suffering was a foretold plan.

What was the significance of the Apostles speaking in different tongues (languages), declaring the works of the Lord?

Why was it necessary that Judas was replaced? Why not just run with 11? What is the significance of witnessing the ascension into heaven?
