Acts 3
1 And Peter and John were going up at the same time into the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour],
Now Peter and John went up to the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.
2 and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,
And a certain man, who was lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried in. They would lay him every day at the gate of the temple, which is called the Beautiful, so that he might request alms from those entering into the temple.
3 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
And this man, when he had seen Peter and John beginning to enter the temple, was begging, so that he might receive alms.
4 And Peter, having looked steadfastly toward him with John, said, “Look toward us”;
Then Peter and John, gazing at him, said, “Look at us.”
5 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them;
And he looked intently at them, hoping that he might receive something from them.
6 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.”
But Peter said: “Silver and gold is not mine. But what I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.”
7 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up, and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened,
And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his legs and feet were strengthened.
8 and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and entered with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;
And leaping up, he stood and walked around. And he entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 and all the people saw him walking and praising God,
And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 and they knew him, that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what has happened to him.
And they recognized him, that he was the same one who was sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 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,
Then, as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran to them at the portico, which is called Solomon’s, in astonishment.
12 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?
But Peter, seeing this, responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? Or why do you stare at us, as if it were by our own strength or power that we caused this man to walk?
13 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],
The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you, indeed, handed over and denied before the face of Pilate, when he was giving judgment to release him.
14 and you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,
Then you denied the Holy and Just One, and petitioned for a murderous man to be given to you.
15 and the Prince of life you killed, whom God raised out of the dead, of which we are witnesses;
Truly, it was the Author of Life whom you put to death, whom God raised from the dead, to whom we are witnesses.
16 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.
And by faith in his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, has confirmed his name. And faith through him has given this man complete health in the sight of you all.
17 And now, brothers, I have known that through ignorance you did [it], as also your rulers;
And now, brothers, I know that you did this through ignorance, just as your leaders also did.
18 and God, what things He had declared before through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled;
But in this way God has fulfilled the things that he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the Prophets: that his Christ would suffer.
19 convert, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD,
Therefore, repent and be converted, so that your sins may be wiped away.
20 and He may send Jesus Christ who before has been preached to you,
And then, when the time of consolation will have arrived from the presence of the Lord, he will send the One who was foretold to you, Jesus Christ,
21 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 g165)
whom heaven certainly must take up, until the time of the restoration of all things, which God has spoken of by the mouth of his holy prophets, from ages past. (aiōn g165)
22 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;
Indeed, Moses said: ‘For the Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet for you from your brothers, one like me; the same shall you listen to according to everything whatsoever that he shall speak to you.
23 and it will be, every soul that may not hear that Prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people;
And this shall be: every soul who will not listen to that Prophet shall be exterminated from the people.’
24 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spoke, also foretold of these days.
And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and thereafter, have announced these days.
25 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;
You are sons of the prophets and of the testament which God has appointed for our fathers, saying to Abraham: ‘And by your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’
26 to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, sent Him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.”
God raised up his Son and sent him first to you, to bless you, so that each one may turn himself away from his wickedness.”
