< Acts 3 >
1 Nowe Peter and Iohn went vp together into the Temple, at the ninth houre of prayer.
And Peter and John were going up together to the temple, at the hour of prayer, which is the ninth hour.
2 And a certaine man which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, was caried, whom they layde dayly at the gate of the Temple called Beautifull, to aske almes of them that entred into ye Temple.
And a certain man lame from his birth was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and Iohn, that they would enter into the Temple, desired to receiue an almes.
who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked alms.
4 And Peter earnestly beholding him with Iohn, said, Looke on vs.
And Peter fixing his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look upon us.
5 And hee gaue heede vnto them, trusting to receiue some thing of them.
And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Then said Peter, Siluer and gold haue I none, but such as I haue, that giue I thee: In the Name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, rise vp and walke.
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.
7 And hee tooke him by the right hand, and lift him vp, and immediately his feete and ankle bones receiued strength.
And grasping him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles received strength.
8 And he leaped vp, stoode, and walked, and entred with them into the Temple, walking and leaping, and praysing God.
And leaping forth he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping, praising God.
9 And all the people sawe him walke, and praysing God.
And all the people saw him walking, and praising God;
10 And they knewe him, that it was he which sate for the almes at the Beautifull gate of the Temple: and they were amased, and sore astonied at that, which was come vnto him.
and they recognized him as the man that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
11 And as the creeple which was healed, held Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne amased vnto them in the porch which is called Salomons.
And as he held fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's greatly wondering.
12 So when Peter saw it, he answered vnto the people, Ye me of Israel, why marueile ye at this? or why looke ye so stedfastly on vs, as though by our owne power or godlines, we had made this man go?
But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Sonne Iesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had iudged him to be deliuered.
The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.
14 But ye denied the Holy one and the Iust, and desired a murtherer to be giuen you,
But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a murderer should be granted to you.
15 And killed the Lord of life, whome God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.
But the author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his Name hath made this man sound, whom ye see, and know, through faith in his Name: and the faith which is by him, hath giuen to him this perfite health of his whole body in the presence of you all.
And his name, through faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 And now brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your gouernours.
And now, brethren, I know that ye acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 But those thinges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.
But God thus fulfilled what he had before announced by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 Amend your liues therefore, and turne, that your sinnes may be put away, whe the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Repent therefore and turn from your ways, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 And he shall sende Iesus Christ, which before was preached vnto you,
and that he may send forth Christ Jesus, who was before appointed for you;
21 Whome the heauen must containe vntill the time that all thinges be restored, which God had spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began. (aiōn )
whom heaven indeed must receive until the times of a restoration of all things; of which times God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from the days of old. (aiōn )
22 For Moses said vnto the Fathers, The Lord your God shall raise vp vnto you a Prophet, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: ye shall heare him in all things, whatsoeuer he shall say vnto you.
Moses indeed said, “A prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you from among your brethren, as be raised up me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall speak to you.
23 For it shalbe that euery person which shall not heare that Prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people.
And it shall come to pass, that every soul which doth not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.”
24 Also all the Prophets from Samuel, and thencefoorth as many as haue spoken, haue likewise foretolde of these dayes.
And all the prophets also, Samuel and those who followed, as many as spoke, announced these days.
25 Ye are the children of the Prophets, and of the couenant, which God hath made vnto our fathers, saying to Abraham, Euen in thy seede shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, “And in thy posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed.”
26 First vnto you hath God raysed vp his Sonne Iesus, and him hee hath sent to blesse you, in turning euery one of you from your iniquities.
To you first, God, having raised up his servant, sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
