Do you see a difference between these two Bible versions?
King James Version
Acts 3:25 - Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:26 - Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
New King James Version
Acts 3:25 - You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Acts 3:26 - To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.
In the KJV, we find that Jesus is God's Son. In the NKJV, we find that He is God's servant. These are clearly not the same! The Greek word found in the text here is "pais". It can be used in Greek for either "son" or "servant." So which one is correct here?
Could it be that these modern translators disagree that "pais" can be translated "son?" No, the NKJV committee translates this very word as "boy," "child" or "son" in Matthew 2:16; 17:18; 21:15; Luke 2:43; 9:42; and John 4:51. Yet they refused to translate the word as "son" in this powerful sermon where Peter presents Jesus as Messiah and Son of God.
One has to ask, why were these translators so determined to deny the deity of Jesus in this passage? Is this a Bible you can trust with your eternal destiny?

You know, a few years ago when I became a Christian, my first earnest prayer (after noticing so many chapters in the Bible forewarning us to beware of false prophets) was that God would keep me safe from untruths. A while after that I bought a New Century Version for my daughter because I had no idea that any Bible could be wrong. I am very thankful to report that in the end, I was shown that this Bible along with virtually every Bible version except King James had really messed with the Word of God. Did you know that in the NCV, in the Lord prayer, the New Age phrase "as above, so below" is used? It is really scary to think of the ways Satan is creeping in. Have you read Purpose Driven Life? Maybe you already know this but, Rick Warren quotes New Age leaders, he just doesn't say it. A very good book, written by a former New Ager, that I would suggest just for you to have the knowledge about what's going on is called "Deceived on Purpose" by Warren Smith.
I am so glad that you are using this medium to reach out and show the truth.
God Bless you

He is God in the flesh, he came to do the will of God so, he is God's servant. Also, he is the son of God. The Holy spirit entered the womb of the virgin Mary and she was with child. She Knew not a man, Jesus was fathered by the spirit of God. With God, ALL things are possible!

Don't lose faith from what has been lost in human translations of the Bible..Jesus is The Son of God , born to save us from ourselves, our sinful nature.

peace be upon you
Look for the real Jesus in the Real Holy Book which present now.(Quran).
Read what the God said about his prophet ,the Jesus.
*the messenger of Allah.
*Don't embarrasse from being one of the God creatures but not his son.
*He did the miracles by the ability of the God.
*He called people to worship the one God.
*The bad people betray him ,but the God saved him and make the man who betray him in the image of the Jesus and he died instead of the Jesus but not the Jesus who is killed.

A man, a good person, a prophet, a religious leader, but a man just the same.

Not to mention that there isn't even any evidence that Jesus was anything more than a fictional character.
