5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
6 But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.
and Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I have, that I give to you; in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.”
7 And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

10 and they recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon’s—greatly amazed,

and Peter having seen, answered to the people, “Men, Israelites! Why do you wonder at this? Or why do you look on us so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His child Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release [Him],
14 But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
15 but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof we are witnesses.
and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
16 And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.
and on the faith of His Name, this one whom you see and have known, His Name made strong, even the faith that [is] through Him gave to him this perfect soundness before you all.
17 And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
18 but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
and God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled;
19 Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,
convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD,
20 and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
21 whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. (aiōn )
whom Heaven required, indeed, to receive until times of a restitution of all things, of which God spoke through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age. (aiōn )
22 Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.
For Moses, indeed, said to the fathers—The LORD your God will raise up a Prophet to you out of your brothers, like to me; you will hear Him in all things, as many as He may speak to you;
23 And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;
24 And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.
and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your Seed will all the families of the earth be blessed;
