< Acts 3 >

1 Peter and John were on their way up to the Temple at the time of the afternoon prayer, around 3 p.m.
(upon it *k*) Peter now and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer the ninth.
2 A man who had been lame from birth was being carried there. Every day he was placed beside the Temple gate called “Beautiful” so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.
And a certain man lame from womb of mother of him being was being carried, whom they were placing every day at the gate of the temple which is being named Beautiful to ask for alms from those who were going into the temple.
3 He saw Peter and John as they were about to enter the Temple and asked them for some money.
who having seen Peter and John being about to enter into the temple was asking alms to receive.
4 Peter looked right at him. John did, too. “Look at us!” Peter said.
Having looked intently now Peter upon him with John he said; do look unto us.
5 The lame man gave them his full attention, expecting to get something from them.
And he was giving heed to them expecting something from them to receive.
6 “I don't have any silver or gold,” Peter told him, “but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”
Said however Peter; Silver and gold none there is to me; what however I have, this to you I give. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (do rise up *N(k)O*) and do walk.
7 Peter took him by the right hand and helped him up. Right away his feet and ankles became strong.
And having taken him by the right hand he raised up him. immediately then were strengthened the feet of him and the ankles,
8 He jumped to his feet, and then began to walk. He went with them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God.
And leaping up he stood and was walking and he entered with them into the temple walking and leaping and praising God.
9 Everyone there saw him walking around and praising God.
And saw all the people him walking and praising God.
10 They recognized him as the beggar who used to sit by the Temple's Beautiful Gate, and they were surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
They were recognizing (then *N(k)O*) him that (he himself *N(k)O*) was the [one] for the alms sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that having happened to him.
11 He held on tightly to Peter and John while everyone ran to them by Solomon's Porch in complete astonishment at what had happened.
When is clinging now (he *N(k)O*) (having been healed lame [one] *K*) to Peter and (*no*) John ran together all the people to them in the porch which is being called Solomon’s greatly amazed.
12 When Peter saw this opportunity he told them, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at what's happened to this man? Why are you staring at us as if it was by our own power or faith that we made him walk?
Having seen [it] however (*no*) Peter answered to the people: Men Israelites, why wonder you at this? Or on us why you look intently as if by [our] own power or godliness having made to walk him?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.
The God of Abraham and (the God *n*) of Isaac and (the God *n*) of Jacob, the God of the fathers of us, has glorified the servant of Him Jesus whom you yourselves (indeed *no*) delivered up and disowned (him *ko*) in [the] presence of Pilate having adjudged that one to release;
14 You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.
You yourselves however the Holy and Righteous One denied and requested a man a murderer to be granted to you,
15 You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.
and the Author of life you killed whom God has raised up out from [the] dead, whereof we ourselves witnesses are.
16 By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.
And on the faith in the name of Him this [man] whom you see and know has strengthened the name of Him and the faith which [is] through Him has given to him complete soundness this before all of you.
17 Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.
And now, brothers, I know that in ignorance you acted, as also the rulers of you;
18 But God fulfilled what he had prophesied through all the prophets: that his Messiah would suffer.
But God who foretold through [the] mouth of all the prophets [the] suffering [of] the Christ of Him He has fulfilled thus.
19 Now repent, and change your ways, that your sins can be wiped away, so the Lord can send opportunities for you to heal and recover,
do repent therefore and do turn again (for *NK(o)*) the blotting out of your sins, so that maybe may come times of refreshing from [the] presence of the Lord
20 and send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you.
and [that] He may send the [One] (appointed *N(K)O*) to you Christ Jesus
21 For he must stay in heaven until the time when everything is restored, as God announced through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
whom it behooves heaven indeed to receive until [the] times of restoration of all things of which spoke God through [the] mouth (of all *K*) the holy from [the] age of Him prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will send you a prophet from among your own people who is like me. You must listen to everything he tells you.
Moses indeed (for to the fathers *K*) said that A prophet to you will raise up [the] Lord the God (of you *NK(o)*) out from the brothers of you like me myself; to Him You will listen in all things as much as maybe He may say to you.
23 Anybody who doesn't listen to him will be totally removed from the people.’
It will be [that] now every soul who (only *N(k)O*) unless shall heed the prophet that will be utterly destroyed out from the people.’
24 All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel on, prophesied about these days.
And all now the prophets from Samuel and those subsequently as many as spoke also (told of *N(K)O*) days these,
25 You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers when he said to Abraham, ‘From your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
You yourselves are (the *no*) sons of the prophets and of the covenant that made God with the fathers (of you *N(K)O*) saying to Abraham; And in the seed of you (will be blessed *NK(o)*) all the families of the earth.’
26 God prepared his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
To you first having raised up God the servant of Him (Jesus *k*) sent Him blessing you in turning away each from the wickednesses of you.
