2 And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.
Now a man lame from birth was being carried every day to the Beautiful gate of temple, so he could ask people who were going into the temple for a gift of money.
3 He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
When he saw Peter and John about to enter the temple, he asked them for a gift of money.
4 But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.
Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
5 But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.
The lame man looked at them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.
But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I will give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
7 And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.
Taking him by the right hand, Peter raised him up, and immediately the man's feet and ankle were made strong.
8 And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Leaping up, the lame man stood and began to walk; and he entered with Peter and John into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
As he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly marveling.
12 But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?
When Peter saw this, he answered the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel? Why do you fix your eyes on us, as if we had made him to walk by our own power or godliness?
13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. He is the one whom you delivered up and rejected before the face of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

19 Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.
Repent, therefore, and turn, so that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come periods of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
20 That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ,
and that he may send the Christ who has been appointed for you, Jesus.

22 For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.
Moses indeed said, 'The Lord God will raise up a prophet like me from among your brothers. You shall listen to everything that he will speak to you.
23 And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
It will happen that every person who does not listen to that prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.'
24 And all the prophets, from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days.

25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the testament which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, as he said to Abraham, 'In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
26 To you first God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you; that every one may convert himself from his wickedness.
After God raised up his servant, he sent him to you first, in order to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”
