Whom did Peter address in the early chapters of Acts after the crucifixion, and what did he tell them?

In the early chapters of Acts, Peter addressed the children of Israel and the men of Israel. He pleaded with them to respond to the truth that the one they had crucified was their Messiah. Nationally, Israel refused to believe, though some did accept it.

Les explains that even after the crucifixion, when you come into the early chapters of Acts, Peter addresses the children of Israel and the men of Israel. Peter pleads with them to respond to the fact that the one they crucified was their Messiah. But Israel would not believe it nationally; some did, but for the most part the nation rejected it. This follows the context that God had dealt primarily with the favored nation of Israel, with some exceptions.
